Near Fort Laramie he met with the Sioux to try to persuade them not to attack the emigrant wagon trains heading West, and, then returned to Fort Leavenworth by a southern route to Bent's Fort and the Arkansas River, meeting with the Cheyenne and Arapaho. Kearny's expedition greatly added to the Army's knowledge of the terrain and the routes west. Wagner-Camp 117; Graff 4413. OCLC: 20555077 (Inventory #: 242886)
