Even before Lewis and Clark had returned in 1806 Lieutenant Zebulon Pike was sent to explore the southern reaches of the Louisiana Territory. Pike traveled to Colorado and down the Front Range looking for the Red River. His party failed to find it and instead wandered into New Mexico where the Spanish caught him and escorted him home. His expedition returned with valuable information about the northern provinces of colonial Mexico. He explored the headwaters of the Arkansas and Red Rivers and reported on the Spanish settlements in New Mexico as well as his account of his expedition to the upper Mississippi in Minnesota.
