"An important early journal; Fowler was second in command in a party of 20 men under Hugh Glenn. They left Ft. Smith in September, 1821, and went along the Arkansas River, following approximately the route that later became the Santa Fe Trail in that region, to the site of present Pueblo, Colorado. They went on to Taos and returned east in 1822, following the Santa Fe Trail in part and mentioning seeing the tracks of Becknell's wagons."--Jack Rittenhouse. The footnotes by Elliott Coues add much information and perspective.
This book is a journal of Jacob Fowler, a man who traveled from Arkansas through the Indian Territory across Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico between 1821 and 1822. It covers Fowler's day-to-day activities as he traverses the area on foot and by horse ride.
The journal of Major Jacob Fowler had reseted in quiet hands as a manuscript for many years before it was discovered by chance by Dr. Elliott Coues. And it took all of his vast scholarship to interpret the message it contained. The importance of the Fowler Journal lies greatly in the fact that while other men had previously traversed the great southwest, their accounts were never recorded for future generations, and the present volume is the first account by an American covering this wild and unknown area. Major Fowler was a surveyor, an educated man, born in New York State, but who moved to Kentucky at an early age. His detailed observations of his travels in the years 1821-22 remain the basic source material for much history that has been since written on the vast southwest.
