Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Cuerno Verde marker at Cuerno Verde Rest Area. The text on the left side of the board reads:

In the 1700s, this area of southern Colorado became a significant cultural crossroads for the Indian tribes of the high plains. Apaches and Kiowas, Utes and Comanches all pressed in to take advantage of the abundant buffalo and other game. This caused a substantial amount of intertribal warfare that continued well into the 19th century. So intense was the struggle that even the name Comanche emerged from the Ute word "komanticia," meaning "anyone who wants to fight me all the time."

By the 1700s, this area also formed the most northern extremity of the Spanish empire. From Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, Spanish soldiers, explorers, and clergy ventured north to draw the plains people into trading alliances, spread Christianity, and quell the destructive raids on settlements in the Upper Rio Grande Valley. After driving the Utes and Apaches off the plains in the mid-1700s, the Comanches began to make ever more destructive raids on the settlements in Northern New Mexico. in 1779, the Governor of New Mexico, Juan Bautista de Anza, led some 00 Spanish soldiers, along with their Ute and Apache allies, north to suppress the attacks, particularly those led by the Comanche chief known as Cuerno Verde (meaning Green Horn because of the headdress he wore in battle).

Although Anza's exact route is subject to debate, he and his men ascended the San Luis Valley, crossed the mountains to reach the Arkansas River, then worked their way wast to the high plains. Hurrying south just east of the mountains, they intercepted Cuerno Verde's band somewhere in this area. A battle ensued at the base of Greenhorn Mountain — later named for Cuerno Verde — and the chief and several of his principal warriors died in the struggle. Anza then established a fragile peace, one that lasted until the early 1800s.

Español: Marcador de Cuerno Verde en el área de descanso de Cuerno Verde. El texto de la izquierda dice:

En el siglo XVIII, esta zona del sur de Colorado se convirtió en una importante encrucijada cultural para las tribus indias de las altas llanuras. Apaches y kiowas, utes y comanches, todos presionaron para aprovechar la abundancia de búfalos y otros animales de caza. Esto provocó una gran cantidad de guerras intertribales que continuaron hasta bien entrado el siglo XIX. La lucha fue tan intensa que incluso el nombre comanche surgió de la palabra ute "komanticia", que significa "cualquiera que quiera pelear conmigo todo el tiempo".

En la década de 1700, esta zona también constituía el extremo más septentrional del imperio español. Desde Santa Fe, la capital de Nuevo México, los soldados, exploradores y clérigos españoles se aventuraron hacia el norte para atraer a los habitantes de las llanuras en alianzas comerciales, difundir el cristianismo y sofocar las destructivas incursiones en los asentamientos del Alto Valle del Río Grande. En 1779, el gobernador de Nuevo México, Juan Bautista de Anza, dirigió a unos 00 soldados españoles, junto con sus aliados ute y apache, hacia el norte para reprimir los ataques, especialmente los dirigidos por el jefe comanche conocido como Cuerno Verde (por el tocado que llevaba en la batalla).

Aunque la ruta exacta de Anza está sujeta a debate, él y sus hombres ascendieron por el valle de San Luis, cruzaron las montañas para llegar al río Arkansas y luego se abrieron paso hasta las llanuras altas. Al dirigirse hacia el sur, justo al este de las montañas, interceptaron a la banda de Cuerno Verde en algún lugar de esta zona. Se produjo una batalla en la base de la Montaña Cuerno Verde -que más tarde recibió el nombre de Cuerno Verde- y el jefe y varios de sus principales guerreros murieron en la lucha. Anza estableció entonces una frágil paz, que duró hasta principios del siglo XIX.
