William Becknell, a merchant and adventurer, was the first American to head for Santa Fe. In 1821, Becknell led a group from Franklin,Missouri, across the plains. When they reached Santa Fe, they found Mexicans eager to buy cloth and other goods. Other Americans soon followed Becknell's route. It became known as the Santa Fe Trail.
