So you now agree with Franklin? So are we to understand that you now believe that Benjamin Cooper was the guide of the Beale party? Franklin said that's what he believes.
I think I said if the Beale Party actually did exist and went to Sante Fe they could have been the Benjamin Cooper party. When TJB left St. Louis in mid-May 1822, he and his party would have been about at the location where Jacob Fowler in tow with James Pursley now released after 17 years of imprisonment by the Spanish. This was around the 5th of July on the plains of Kansas. Yes I said it could have been the Beale Party but there is no documented proof as no proof whatsoever has ever been found. I used John Bell's daily journal to find where they camped and how many days it took them to travel. You can also use his return trip down the Red River for campsites. Nothing has been nailed down. But, if one forgets all history, all stories that could relate and concentrate only on the 23 page Job Print Pamphlet. Work on the author's story and the author's deciphering C2, you will find that the author made the entire story up.
By the way the un-named party would have been the De Muin and Chateou Party out of St. Louis they were captured SW of Denver I believe it was Great Camp Creek or something like that. They were eventually released but their stores were kept by the Spanish.
