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

Zebulon Pike is best known for his "discovery" of the peak that bears his name and his unsuccessful attempt to climb it in November 1806. While Pike, along with the expedition's doctor and two of his soldiers made the attempt on the peak, the major portion of the party was left at camp at the confluence of the Arkansas and Fountain rivers.

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
