hmm that's genius.


My first guess is the "Overland Expedition" led by the scoundrel Parker H. French. One group arrived at Port Lavaca, Texas aboard the SS Galveston on June 4, 1850, but were actually preceded by another group from the same expedition a week or so before. The combined group reached San Antonio in the first days of July and El Paso (actually, Franklin, Texas as El Paso was still in Mexico) on September 18. There French's deceits were exposed and the group broke up.

Of course everyone knows this is wrong. First guess shouldn't count. Rex Strickland, the author of a 1963 journal piece called "Six Who Came to El Paso," wrote that according to one traveler there were 4,000 immigrants and upwards of 1,500 wagons in July, 1849 at El Paso. I have no idea whose train was first.
