From the inside cover:
In 1869, General William Jackson Palmer, railroad pioneer and Civil War veteran, saw Pikes Peak for the first time and dreamt of a summer resort colony at the base of the mountain. He ventured into a beautiful glen north of Garden of the Gods and fell in love with the wild, romantic landscape in the foothills of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Palmer decided to call the place home: Glen Eyrie – Valley of the Eagle’s Nest. This land of enchantment serves as a spectacular backdrop against which people have lived extraordinary lives.
The Glen Eyrie Story explores the rich history of this beautiful estate, and the people and organizations who have called it home. Learn about the big dreams and adventures of the Palmer family and their staff members from 1871-1909. Discover a plot to turn Glen Eyrie into a subdivision in 1916. Read about Alexander Cochran’s ill-fated romance in the 1920s, and about the incredible generosity and faith of George Strake and his family from the 1930s-50s. Witness God’s faithfulness through the purchase of Glen Eyrie by The Navigators in 1953.
