  Charles Perkins
In 1879, William Jackson Palmer convinced his good friend Charles Perkins (president of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad) to buy several hundred acres of red rock spires and piñon-covered foothills known as Garden of the Gods.
A few years later, Perkins wrote to Palmer of his intention to donate his 480-acre Garden of the Gods property to the city of Colorado Springs.
Perkins undoubtedly was influenced by Palmer, who had already donated over 1,000 acres of his own land to become public city park lands.
