The Mallets and their party had left…

March 1741 CE

The Mallets and their party had left Santa Fe to return east on May 1, 1840.

One of their men had married a Spanish woman and had remained in New Mexico.

Three men had split off to return to Illinois via the same route they had followed to New Mexico; the Mallets and two others had followed the Canadian River eastwards from New Mexico through the Texas Panhandle and into Oklahoma.

En route they had encountered a Comanche village and traded knives and other items for horses.

Later, probably in Oklahoma, they encountered several Padoucas (Apache?) who were frightened of them, possibly because of experience with slavers.

Downstream, when the Canadian became navigable, the Mallets abandoned their horses and made canoes and on June 24 they arrivde at the junction of the Canadian and Arkansas Rivers and found there a hunting party of French Canadians.

By boat they had proceeded down the river to Arkansas Post and hence to New Orleans, Louisiana, arriving in March 1741.
