Southwestern Historical Quarterly
Information that a large Spanish force was on its way to confront
the exploring expedition had already caused a second military con-
tingent to be added to the initial military escort of twenty-one men in
Natchitoches, in accordance with the instructions of the secretary of
war. Including guide and translator Frangois Grappe and three
Caddo Indians, Talapoon, Cut Finger, and Grand Ozages, the Grand
Excursion had now become the largest exploring expedition of the
decade. A total of seven pirogues, plus the two cabin barges, barely
carried the forty-eight-man contingent. "The party," Custis wrote
Custis made some of the earliest ethnological observations of
the Caddo Indians. This Caddo warrior was photographed by
James Mooney, an early American ethnologist who specialized
in studies of Indians of the South and West and was coauthor
of the Handbook of American Indians (1907-1910). Courtesy
