Zebulon Pike is famous for leading two expeditions in the early 19th century to explore the western United States. Pike's Peak in Colorado is named after him, as he was the first American to document the mountain during his explorations. His explorations also contributed valuable information about the geography and Native American cultures of the western frontier.

On his journey he would explore the Louisiana Territory ( sold by France to america.) Pike found a 14'110 ft. mountain which he named Pike's Peak but he never did reach the mountain. He tried climbing the other mountain and connect at the top but when he and his crew were walking in knee high snow they gave up on trying to make it and went back down the mountain. He died on April 27, 1813 in York(now Toronto),Canada. he was crushed by debris of rock the size of him flying through the air from a British explosion and his body was shipped back to Sackets Harbor
