Second Dragoon Expedition
- Second Dragoon Expedition
The Second Dragoon Expedition of 1835 (also called the Dodge Expedition) left Fort Leavenworth, Indian territory May 29, 1835, charged with contacting the Indian tribes across the Central Plains to the Rockies as far west as the Mexican border. Traveling first up the Platte River they made contact with the Otoe, Omaha, Grand Pawnee, and Arickaree tribes. Continuing south along the front range of the Rockies, they reached Bent's Fort on August 6. At Bent's Fort the expedition held councils with the Arapahoes, Cheyennes, Black Feet, Gros Ventres, and others. The Dragoons then followed the Santa Fe Trail eastward, arriving at Fort Leavenworth on September 16, 1835.
:"Note: The First Dragoon Expedition was from Fort Gibson to the Southern Plains in 1834."
