He is a US army officer and led an exploring party in search of the source of the Mississippi River in 1805. He investigated Spanish settlements in New Mexico.
I suggest using Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pike_Expedition#:~:text=The%20Pike%20Expedition%20(July%2015,of%20the%20recent%20Louisiana%20Purchase.&text=A%20smaller%20group%20returned%20safely,Missouri%20before%20winter%20set%20in.
I dont suggest Wikipedia not information there is trustworthy (no hate to anyone who trusts it)
Under the orders of the War Department, Lieutenant Zebulon Montgomery Pike, with a force consisting of two lieutenants, a surgeon, a sergeant, two corporals, 16 privates, and an interpreter, set out in two boats from Belle Fontaine, near St. Louis, Missouri, on July 15, 1806, for the purpose of “exploring the internal parts of Louisiana.”
Accompanying him were chiefs and headmen of the Osage and Pawnee Indians, through which nations it was intended the expedition should pass. He also took a number of women and children who were returning to their nations from captivity among the Pottawatomie, having been freed by the United States government. La Charette was reached on July 21st, where Pike found waiting for him Lieutenant James B. Wilkinson, Dr. John H. Robinson, and another interpreter, all of whom had gone on before.
