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

---

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.

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
