The commerce between Missouri and Santa Fe which began in 1821 was reputedly carried on without loss of life until the return journey of 1828, when two traders offered a temptation which no Indian could resist. While resting the Indians attacked and shot down all but one and stole over a thousand horses and mules. Alarmed at this threat to their profitable trade, they called on the recently elected "frontier president" for a military escort, and four companies of regulars, under the command of a veteran War of 1812, Brevet Major Riley were assigned to accompany the 1829 caravan. At the time the U.S. army possessed no cavalry, only infantry was available to cope with the light-horsemen of the plains, although this detachment was also equipped with a six-pounder.
