The time had now arrived, so thought the rulers of Texas, when rule should be exercised over the length and breadth of her domain when the citizens of her farthest borders should be brought into the common fold and with the full belief in their readiness and willingness for the movement, the Texan Santa Fe Expedition was originated...."e;George Wilkins Kendall was born August 22, 1809, and died October 21, 1867.
