Spain then pos-" sessed a vast amount of territory in what is now the United States, extending along the Gulf of Mexico from Florida around to Texas and upthe Pacific coast to British America. She was gradually making her way northward and acquiring territory all through the Mississippi valley Her northern most post at this time east of the Rocky mountains was at St. Louis, Mo., where a small garrison was maintained.
