      title = {Narrative of the Texan Santa Fé expedition : comprising a  description of a tour through Texas, and across the great  southwestern prairies, the Camanche and Caygüa  hunting-grounds, with an account of the sufferings from  want of food, losses from hostile Indians, and final  capture of the Texans, and their march, as prisoners, to  the city of Mexico : with illustrations and a map /},
      abstract = {The Texan Santa Fe expedition was conceived by Mirabeau B.  Lamar in an attempt to open a trade route which would lure  away some of the traffic hitherto utilizing the Santa Fe  trade, and also to extend his greetings to residents of New  Mexico, whom he wished to participate in Texas government  as residents of territory claimed by Texas in an act of  1836. Due to poor navigation, faulty planning and  harassment by Indians, the expedition lost most of its  momentum. Upon their arrival in New Mexico, the entire  force was taken captive under orders of Gov. Manuel Armijo.  The prisoners were forcibly marched to Mexico City, and the  affair brought relations between Texas, the United States  and Mexico to a boiling point. Those who survived the march  and imprisonment were released in April 1842, six and a  half months after their capture. Kendall, editor of the New  Orleans Picayune, accompanied the expedition as an  observer.},
