Santa Fe Trail, caravan route from Independence, Mo., to Santa Fe, N.M., which from the time of William Becknell, its “founder” in 1821–22, until late in the century served as an important trade route, and caused the growth of such communities as Taos. Josiah Gregg and Lewis H. Garrard wrote works on its early history, and Harvey Fergusson's trilogy Followers of the Sun (1921–29) is concerned with life along the trail from Spanish times to the present.
