Cuerno Verde was a leader of the Comanche in the late 18th century. This name (Green Horn in English) was given to him by the Spanish because of the green tinted horns that he wore on his head-dress in battle. He was killed in combat with the Spanish forces of Juan Bautista de Anza in 1779 somewhere between the present day cities of Pueblo, Colorado and Colorado City, Colorado.
