| 5 | Creator: | unknown | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | Zebulon Montgomery Pike biographical materials, 1780-1956
| | | | Dates: | 1780-1956 | | | | Abstract: | Zebulon Montgomery Pike (1779-1813) was an explorer and soldier, most often remembered two exploratory trips to the newly acquired Louisiana territory. The first of these trips was to the source of the Mississippi River in 1805; the second was to explore the headwaters of the Arkansas and Red Rivers in 1806. Because General James Wilkinson was responsible for organizing Pike’s two expeditions, when the conspiracy charges again Aaron Burr implicated Wilkinson, suspicion was, for a short time, also focused on Pike. Pike worked his way up the ranks of the United States Army, becoming a brigadier-general during the War of 1812. He was killed in the Battle of York in Upper Canada (now Toronto) in 1813. | | | | Call #: | Mss.B.P63 | | | | Extent: | 0.25 Linear feet | | | | Sections: |
