		For example, in February 1840, Senator Benton's fellow Missourian Lewis F. Linn asked the Senate to urge Poinsett to provide information about building a line of military posts to facilitate emigration to the Oregon country.
		The secretary assented, noting that the chain of posts "would be productive of the most beneficial effects upon the commerce of the whole region" but he reminded the senators that the posts could not be placed without further exploration and expense.
		Confronting persistent foes in Congress, Benton and Linn may have harnessed Fremont's newly acquired fame to support their own projects and claimed more responsibility for his success than was in fact the case.

	The Fort Leavenworth-Fort Gibson Military Road and the Founding of Fort Scott by Louise Barry, May 1942
		I have no doubt that a road from the western bank of the Mississippi to Fort Leavenworth and thence to Fort Gibson, would be very advantageous to the United States.
		In 1838 the forty-mile strip was ceded by the government to the Cherokee Indians and the Arkansas boundary fixed again at the old location.
		Probably this point for the beginning of the survey was chosen because of the expected removal of Fort Gibson, required by the law of May 14, 1836.
