Route of Pope's Expedition.'/ 1854. 



Like Whipple's expedition, Pope's had for its purpose the dis- 

 covery of a route between the Central States and the West. The 

 company started eastward from El Paso in February of 1854. The 

 party was in New Mexico for only a short time, and on account of the

 botanical collector is not given, but the plants are usually considered 

 as collected by the commander of the expedition.
