Geocache Description:

One of a series of caches recognizing figures from Pueblo's early days.


Juan Bautista de Anza was the Spanish Governor of New Mexico whose troops killed Cuerno Verde (Green Horn) in battle in 1779. Then, in 1787, de Anza attempted to relocate the Comanche to the village of San Carlos de los Jupes , but the settlement was soon abandoned after a member of the tribe died there.


Most of the information to create this series came from the following three books: Pueblo, an Illustrated History by Eleanor Fry & Ione Miller. 2001. Heritage Media Corp. Carlsbad, CA Pueblo, a Pictorial History by Joanne West Dodds. 1982. The Donning Company/Publishers. Norfolk, VA They All Came to Pueblo: a Social History by Joanne West Dodds. 1994. The Donning Company/Publishers. Virginia Beach, VA
