Found this on the Narrow Gauge Discussion Forum. In an era ripe with robber barons, General Palmer apparently wasn't. Something I didn't know.

General Palmer was very highly esteemed by residents of Colorado

Springs, where he had a magnificent estate north of the city. He

often invited townspeople to be his guests at the estate. It's known

as Glen Eyrie and is now owned by The Navigators, a Christian

ministry organization that has been dedicated to the restoration and

loving care of the estate. For some more information on this

interesting history, go to the link.
