I wish to express my thanks to many institutions for support and to individuals for help during
the writing of this book. I appreciate the financial assistance of the professional development
fund and the support of the administration at Bacone College. I received assistance from
archivists and librarians at Gilcrease Museum, Beinecke Library at Yale University, Gray
Herbarium at Harvard University, Old Colony Historical Society, Smithsonian Institution
Archives, Ewell Sale Stewart Library and Archives at the Academy of Natural Sciences in
Philadelphia, and Bacone College.
Thanks also to several anonymous readers who provided helpful criticisms about the
manuscript; staff members of the University of New Mexico Press, past and present, such as
Luther Wilson, W. Clark Whitehorn, Elise McHugh, and Felicia Cedillos; and copyeditor Lisa
Williams.
I wish to thank my son, Benjamin A. Lawson, a PhD candidate in history at the University
of Iowa, for drawing the map of Berlandier’s travels. My wife, Linda Lawson, read a draft of
the manuscript and provided helpful suggestions. This book is dedicated to her.

 Introduction

This is a story of discovery. the setting is a land of extremes: in temperature, the heat of the
terra caliente and the cold of the Sierras; in moisture, the arid lands of the Mexican Plateau
and the humidity of the lowlands near the sea; in elevation, ranging from 10,000 feet in the
mountains to sea level along coastal waters; in nature, peaceful and calm on summer evenings
along parajes, camping places next to ponds and rivers, and violent and terrifying when storms
from the northern plains roll across the plains to the south and east. This is a story about
discoverers: inquisitive, courageous people of constancy and perseverance. Featured are a
Frenchman educated in Geneva living in Mexico; an American scientist and soldier, veteran of
the Mexican War; Mexican scientists and soldiers; Tejano settlers and American filibusters;
and indigenous hunters, warriors, and guides. The northern Mexican and southern Texas
frontiers from 1826 to 1853, the chronological boundaries of this narrative, were under
contention by different peoples: Comanches and Lipan Apaches, squatters and colonists from
the United States, and mestizo settlers from south of the Río Bravo del Norte—the Rio Grande.
Among all of these peoples were those who are never content with what is and who one is,
who seek to go beyond what is known to what can be known, who are restless to find and,
having found, to find again. Discoverers typically have motives that include wealth, glory, and
knowledge. The discoverers portrayed herein were of the latter sort, wanting to know for the
sake of knowing; to extend themselves outward, restlessly, into the natural environment; to
contribute to a broadening of institutional knowledge in libraries, museums, institutes, and
associations. Beyond these lofty goals, on the trail discoverers sought to take the best paths to
go from here to there, to ensure water to drink, food to eat, shelter from the elements, and
protection from enemies.
The spring of 1828 was a particularly wet one on the northern Mexican frontier. The varied
people who inhabited the rivers of Texas, particularly the Colorado, Brazos, and Trinity, had
rarely seen the waters rise so high, making tall oaks seem like huge bushes floating on the
surface. Freshets inundated entire valleys, destroying crops and farms, impoverishing people
already desperately poor. Old Spanish roads that traversed the land from San Antonio de
Béxar to Nacogdoches were washed out in some places and soggy, sticky clay in others. Only a
fool would travel this way except through utter necessity, and the only travel that made any
sense was by mule or on horseback. And yet, to the astonishment of the Tejanos, the Mexicans
of the gulf plain of Texas, during April, May, and June of that year a large caravan of soldiers,
who did not appear quite like typical Mexican soldiers, sloshed, splattered, and cursed their
way along the caminos of Texas. What was unusual about this group of soldiers was their
