The channel to thebay was so shallow that the steamer, small as it was, had to be draggedover the bottom when loaded. Not more than one trip a day could beeffected. Later this was remedied, by deepening the channel andincreasing the number of vessels suitable to its navigation. Corpus Christi is near the head of the bay of the same name, formed bythe entrance of the Nueces River into tide-water, and is on the westbank of that bay. At the time of its first occupancy by United Statestroops there ...was a small Mexican hamlet there, containing probably lessthan one hundred souls. There was, in addition, a small American tradingpost, at which goods were sold to Mexican smugglers. All goods were putup in compact packages of about one hundred pounds each, suitable forloading on pack mules. Two of these packages made a load for anordinary Mexican mule, and three for the larger ones. The bulk of thetrade was in leaf tobacco, and domestic cotton-cloths and calicoes. TheMexicans had, before the arrival of the army, but little to offer inexchange except silver.
