Taken from Kearny's report of a summer campaign to the Rocky Mountains. Part of the map is based on Fremont's map of 1843. The dragoons departed Ft. Leavenworth and marched to South Pass via the "Oregon Trail" and returned 99 days later via the Arkansas River route, a distance of 2200 miles over the toughest western terrain. Ref: Wheat [TMW] 495.
