Route of Whipple's Exploring Expedition. 1853. 



This expedition was one sent out by the Federal Government for 

 the purpose of finding a route from the Central States to California. 

 It entered New Mexico from the Panhandle of Texas and after cross- 

 ing the Territory passed into Arizona. Dr. J. M. Bigelow was the 

 botanist of the expedition and made large collections. Most of his 

 plants were gathered east of Albuquerque, the season, west of this 

 point, having become too late for botanical collecting. Doctor 

 Bigelow later collected in southwestern New Mexico, but the route 

 followed and the dates of collection are not accessible. The following 

 itinerary is taken from the published reports of the expedition: 6 



« Propably Apache Teju.

 graphical engineers, in 1853 and 1854. Pac. R. Rep. 4: 1-288-f iv. 1856.
