Claim Over Pike's Peak by Former Manitou Mayor
Dr Albert G Lewis former Manitou mayor bold claims ownership of Pike's Peak under the homestead law arguing a 1982 proclamation moved the land from war to interior department. He says he filed a declaratory statement in Pueblo and lived on a top acre unit for three years with improvements and affidavits from El Paso County residents. If upheld he would control access for tourists and the cog railway, and could impose taxes or rights of way. The case hinges on whether the proclamation legally transferred the land between departments. Pike's Peak bears the name of Lieutenant Zebulon M Pike from the 1806 expedition.
