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

A. W. "Jack" Wright was one of the founders of a new town of Pueblo in 1860 after the discovery of gold in the Colorado mountains lured many more people to the area. His house, at Front Street (now Fourth) and Santa Fe, was the first house built in the new town.


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

Geocaching this morning with P_trailblaz3r the geodog and grabbed a few along the trail. This location was a bit of a mess -- either rotted enough for branches to fall off or wind took off branches or something. Found the cache on the ground and re-hid it. Tftc.
