Zebulon Pike was captured by Spanish soldiers when he attempted to explore Spanish territory in present-day Colorado in 1807. He and his men were taken as prisoners and held for several months before being released.
Zebulon Pike's southwestern expedition began in St. Louis on July 15, 1806. On February 26, 1807, Pike and his men were captured by the Spanish in what is now Colorado. The Spanish released them at the Louisiana border on July 1, 1807.
The Spanish feared Zebulon Pike's explorations because they believed he was secretly mapping out their territories in North America to potentially aid American expansionism. Pike's expeditions were seen as a threat to Spanish territorial claims and control in the region.
