Its origin runs back more than three hundred years and antedates the settlement of Plymouth by the English. In military, political and ecclesiastical activities, it outranked many of the early settlements east of the Appalachians. In the new world, it was the most northern settlement of the Spanish Crown during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, also the first European settlement made in America with the idea of colonizing a large section of what is now the United States. It is the oldest State Capital in the United States. Notwithstanding its isolation and the fact that it was a "poor mission," the Spanish held to it tenaciously. Aside from all other considerations, as a terminus of the famous Santa Fe Trail, its fame would be secure in the romantic lore of the west. From Santa Fe, with its great historical background, Father Escalante set out on July 29, 1776 in company with another Fransican frair, Dominquez; Cisneros, mayor of Zuni; Captain Pacheco; Lain, a citizen of Santa Fe; Olicares of El•Paso del Norte an interpreter and guide and his brother· Aguilar of ~eranlillo and Luzero, ~ servant of Cisneros. While the expedition is ordinarily referred to as that of Escalante, a more proper title might be the Dominquez-Escalante Expedition. There was urgent need for this expedition, which had as its object the determination of a route to California with Monterey as the objective point. Santa Fe and other settlements to the south had begun to feel foreign pressure from the north, east and west. The French were settling along the Mississippi river and an expedition of some fifteen hundred Spaniards, men women and children, set out from Santa Fe n 1716 to resist further encroachments to the east. to follow the trail which led to Utah Franciscan friars had established a chain of missions along the west coast of what is now California but the Russians were meeting this competition by reaching down from the north and establishing forts and trading posts. Communication so far along the west coast was by sea; an overland route was desired. There are some misconceptions regarding the Old Spanish Trail. The Original Old Spanish Trail ran into the Great Basin. One of later date but of primary importance commerci~ ally, led to California and due to the prominence of the later trail, the early one was forgotten. On August 12 the expedition arrived at the Rio Dolores near the present city of Hogg. At this point the guides were uncertain regarding the direction to be taken and a council was held to determine the proper course. Practically everyone in the party had a different idea of what should be done. They finally decided to follow the thrail which led to Utah Indian settlements and obtain a guide there. Leaving the Dolores they crossed the San Miguel and reached the Uncomphagre Plateau. On the 26 of August they reached the river and valley of San Francisco. At a point about thirty miles from the junction of the Uncompahgre river with the Gunnison, they descended to within ten miles of the mouth of the Uncompahgre, crossed over to the Gunnison and passed up the north fork of the same river. Two Laguna Indians were engaged as guides and they set out to reach the settlements of their guides. After crossing the Grand and White rivers, they arrived on September 13 at the Green river, called by them San Buenaventura, which they crossed a little above t)le present site of Jensen, Utah. From there the party proceeded southwest until they arrived at the jnuction of the Uintah and Duchesne rivers. It is difficult to follow their exact route through this section but they probably proceeded up the Duchesne and Strawberry, crossed the summit and undoubtedly descended the SpanIsh Fork river to the settlements of the Timpanogos Indians on the east- •• • • • • • • • • fl Friday and Saturday, January 16 and 17 ern shore of Utah Lake, reached on 1 • September 23, 1776.

The Indians told them of a lake to the north which was very salty but they did not visit it. What is now the Jordan river was named the Rio de Santa Ana. After spending three days visiting • tribes on the eastern shore of the lake as far north as Provo river, the party resumed its march toward Monterey. • On the 29 of September the arrived at the Sevier river which was named by them the Santa Isabel.

From the viewpoint of exploration, it was a succes and their general route was followed for years by traders. Dominquez and Escalante promised the Utah Lake Indians that they ·=·. would return the next year and establish a mission on the eastern shore of Utah Lake but when the Fathers reached Santa Fe they were unable to convince the authorities of the necessity for such a move. One of their reasons for not proceeding to Monterey would be that this would delay the founding of a mission on Utah Lake. Thus, because the advice of Dominquez and Escalante was not followed, Utah and the Great Basin lost an historical heritage. Sunday and Monday, January 18 and 19 • • • • • • • --~~--- .
