The people of the Texas panhandle and the Great Plains would trade buffalo meat and products of the buffalo with the Pueblos of New Mexico for agricultural products such as beans, corn, and squash. ... Not until 1725 did the French, attempting to reach Santa Fe from the east come upon the same area. In the year 1739.
