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

Annie Blake purchased the entire Gervacio Nolan Mexican Land Grant from his heirs for $10,000; she sold a one-third in it to Charles Goodnight for $5,000 and another one-third interest to brothers Peter and Jacob Dotson for another $5,000.A few years later, after Congress had reduced the total amount of the claim to 48,000 acres, all three interests were purchased by the Central Colorado Improvement Company for $130,000.

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
