In 1806, Zebulon Pike entered the territory of the Spanish Empire while exploring the southern parts of the Louisiana Purchase. He was particularly focused on the area that includes present-day Colorado and New Mexico. Pike's expedition aimed to gather information about the region's geography and potential for settlement, but he was arrested by Spanish authorities for trespassing. His journey contributed to American knowledge of the Southwest and its resources.
