Despite how little development there has been regarding this subject on the Mexican side, this seems to be one of the first and most transcendental antecedents of North American expansionism north of the continent. For the purpose of this research, a review of American historiography on the subject was employed, in addition to primary Novo-Hispanic sources to provide a more integral perspective to what has already been developed by English speaking historians. Among the archives consulted on the Hispanic side are the following: Archivo General de la Nación, Archivo General de Indias, and local archives, such as the one from the city of Chihuahua. The conclusion of this research is that the trip of captain Zebulon Pike provided the Anglo-American merchants, explorers, and militia with strategic geographical information for the establishment of commercial routes and to start advancing and spreading to the west, after the purchase of Louisiana in 1803.El principal objetivo del presente artículo es el análisis histórico de la travesía del capitán norteamericano Zebulón Montgomery Pike del año de 1807 al territorio septentrional de la Nueva España. Dentro de la historiografía en español es poco conocido este episodio. A pesar del escaso conocimiento desarrollado sobre el tema desde lado mexicano, parece ser uno de los primeros y más trascendentales antecedentes del expansionismo norteamericano al norte del continente. En la investigación se recurrió a la revisión de la historiografía norteamericana al respecto; por otra parte, se consultaron fuentes de origen novohispano para dar una perspectiva más completa a lo desarrollado por los historiadores de habla inglesa. Entre los archivos consultados desde el lado hispánico resaltan el Archivo General de la Nación, el Archivo General de Indias y archivos locales como el de la ciudad de Chihuahua. Tras el desarrollo del artículo se concluye que el viaje del capitán Zebulón Pike dotó a comerciantes, exploradores y militares angloamericanos de información geográfica estratégica para establecer rutas comerciales y comenzar su avance de expansión al oeste después de la compra del territorio de la Luisiana en 1803.Instituto de Investigaciones Históricas2023-06-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículo revisado por paresapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://novohispana.historicas.unam.mx/index.php/ehn/article/view/7776310.22201/iih.24486922e.2023.69.77763Estudios de Historia Novohispana; Núm. 69 (2023); 41-692448-69221870-906010.22201/iih.24486922e.2023.69reponame:Estudios de Historia Novohispanainstname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMspahttps://novohispana.historicas.unam.mx/index.php/ehn/article/view/77763/68835https://novohispana.historicas.unam.mx/index.php/ehn/article/view/77763/68846Derechos de autor 2023 Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Méxicohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/deed.esinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/777632024-08-16T17:21:38Z
