the end of Pikes expedition

On February 7, the assistant captain of the expedition, Doctor Robinson, headed out on his own to visit Santa Fe.  Nineteen days later, a company of Spanish dragoons (men that served in the cavalry) arrested Pike and his crew as American spies coming to scope out Spanish Territory. On the 28th, Pike and most of his men left camp with the Spaniards and headed for Santa Fe. This is where the formal Pike Expedition ended.
