Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Saponise Cuch, Chief of the White River Utes, said to Robert Emmitt in 1948, "I am an old man now, and I am the only one left who remembers this. I have known that someone would come to tell this story; now you will write it out, as I have told it to you." Drawing upon historical documents, transcripts, and letters as well as interviews with Northern Ute elders, Emmitt describes the tragedy of United States Indian Agent Nathan Meeker's plan to 'civilise' the Utes, and the resulting military intervention in which fifty Ute warriors held off the US cavalry and killed Meeker, Major Thomas Thornburgh, and others. Ute warriors sought only to defend their families and their way of life, but the price for that defence was forced removal from Colorado and the loss of over twelve million acres. Written with the care and precision of a finely crafted novel, "The Last War Trail" was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize when it was first published in 1954.
