Narrative of an expedition across the great south-western prairies,
Second English edition, published a year after the Harper and Wiley editions.
An account of the The Texan Santa Fe Expedition, a commercial and military expedition to secure the Republic of Texas's claims to parts of Northern New Mexico for Texas in 1841. The expedition was unofficially initiated by the then President of Texas, Mirabeau B. Lamar, in an attempt to gain control over the lucrative Santa Fe Trail and further develop the trade links between Texas and New Mexico. The expedition proved to be a bit of a disaster, with the Texans taken prisoner and relations between the United States and Mexico deteriorating. Kendall was an observer for a New Orleans newspaper.
