Everyone in Colorado Springs knows General William Jackson Palmer¿ask any child and they¿ll tell you ¿he¿s the man on the horse!¿ Ask an adult and they may add that city streets, a park and a school are named after him. But who was he? Perhaps more knowledgeable citizens would tell you, ¿General Palmer was the founder of Colorado Springs,¿ or ¿He was the president of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad,¿ and others would declare, ¿He was a decorated Union soldier.¿ ¿Who was he?,¿ or ¿who was she,¿ is frequently answered by recounting the individual¿s accomplishments in life. Some people have long résumés listing their incredible successes. Others are well known for their failures. There are some residents of the Pikes Peak Region who know William Jackson Palmer as a husband to Queen Mellen Palmer; a father to Elsie, Dorothy and Marjory; and a friend to everyone in the community. Still others would tell you that he was an environmentalist, a pacifist, and an entrepreneur.
