The Beale Papers As A Commentary Of A Historical Event

The Beale Papers are just a commentary, not meant to be nothing more than to catalog an event.
...and for that last 130+ years there have been many many theories and books written trying to connect actual "expeditions" of that time period, be it Benjamin Cooper, Glenn-Fowler, Becknell, Thomas James and so, and all end as fill the blanks fictional speculations.
Why?
The only mention of the Beale Expedition comes from Ward's 1885 published manuscript by an "unknown author".
 

Sure the event occurred the book was written in 1885.

...with a copyright applied for in 1884 with only the title provided, not the "claimed" finished manuscript presented to Ward by the "unknown author".

How could you even know that?

Read the Beale Papers and then read the copyright application on the borrowed Adams Bros & Paynes letterhead in James Beverly Ward's handwriting.
It should become quite evident.
