Account of the threat of an Indian war in 1915, growing out of the alleged murder of a Mexican by a Ute Indian, Tse-ne-gat, also called Everett Hatch. Headlines carrying news of the war in Europe took second place one day in 1915 when the Denver Rocky Mountain News carried this eight-column streamer: INDIAN BATTLE RAGES, 3 DEAD, TOWN IS IN PERIL. The battle was the "Ute War"—the last struggle of the American Indian to save his lands from range-hungry cattlemen. The murder of an obscure sheepherder and the indictment of a Ute Indian touched off the war, but its roots lay deep in history. In this fascinating book Forbes Parkhill tells how and why the Indian resisted the white man's civilization and the price he paid.
