Teresita Sandoval was one of the daring souls that arrived at the Pueblo settlement in1841. Like other women of that time, she would witness and be partner to changes in hercountry. She departed from her traditional life as the wife of Manuel Suazo and followedher heart and Mathew Kinkead to the Arkansas River, where her extended familyendeavored to establish life at El Pueblo Trading Post (1842). Described as "pretty as apeach," Teresita captivated another Englishman, Alexander Barclay, who wrote of "TS"in his journals. From his diary a glimpse of their grand undertakings emerges as does herrole and contributions. Her life affirms that women moved between cultures,strengthened family and trade alliances, exercised rights under Mexican Law andventured north for the freedom the frontier promised.
