Escalante Expedition Chronicle Shapes Utah History
A fragmented account details the 1776 77 Escalante expedition led by Padre Silvestre Velázquez de Escalante across what is now Utah and Nevada. It covers routes from Santa Fe to the Timpannox valley near Salt Lake, encounters with Ute and Pueblo peoples, and the mission to open trade routes and map irrigation sites. The narrative notes the expedition’s five month trek across deserts and canyons, its impact on later missions and the Spanish Trail, and references to national archives in Mexico City.
