- **Event Description**: In the San Luis Valley, in the winter of 1807, Spanish troops arrested Captain Zebulon Pike and his party of American soldiers.  The Spaniards said he was camped in New Spain.  He said he was in US Territory on the Red River, some three-hundred miles away.  Was he lost?  Lying?  Or something else?  Author and historian Jared Orsi will explore the Jeffersonian-era political scandals, faulty Enlightenment science, and extreme physical hardship that brought Pike and his men to the banks of the Rio Conejos, hundreds of miles from their target.

Professor Jared Orsi is the author of Citizen Explorer: The Life of Zebulon Pike.  He teaches history at Colorado State University-Fort Collins and is the editor of the Western Historical Quarterly.  He is formerly the State Historian for the state of Colorado.
