Book Description
The Trade and Intercourse Acts passed by Congress between 1796 and 1834 set up a system for individuals to receive monetary compensation from the federal government for property stolen or destroyed by American Indians. By the end of the Mexican-American War, both Anglo-Americans and Nuevomexicanos became experts in exploiting this system—and in using the army to collect on their often-fraudulent claims. As Gregory F. Michno reveals in Depredation and Deceit, their combined efforts created a precarious mix of false accusations, public greed, and fabricated fear that directly led to new wars in the American Southwest between 1849 and 1855. Tasked with responding to white settlers’ depredation claims and gaining restitution directly from Indian groups, soldiers typically had no choice but to search out often-innocent Indians and demand compensation or the surrender of the guilty party, turning once-friendly bands into enemy groups whenever these tense encounters exploded in violence. As the situation became more volatile, citizens demanded a greater army presence in the region, and lucrative military contracts became yet another reason to encourage the continuation of frontier violence. Although the records are replete with officers questioning accusations and discovering civilians’ deceit, more often than not the army was forced to act in direct counterpoint to its duties as a constabulary force. And whenever war broke out, the acquisition of more Indian land and wealth began the cycle of greed and violence all over again. The Trade and Intercourse Acts were manipulated by Anglo-Americans who ensured the continuation of the very conflicts that they claimed to abhor and that the acts were designed to prevent. In bringing these machinations to light, Michno’s book deepens—and darkens—our understanding of the conquest of the American Southwest.

Book Description
The last war cry of the Utes of Colorado The conflict between the White River Ute Indians of Colorado and the United States Army was the last Indian conflict in the region. In 1879, the Utes were already living on a reservation managed by Indian agent Nathan Meeker. He was dedicated to converting the tribe to both Christianity and an agrarian lifestyle. Inevitably, he provoked outrage among his charges when he pursued his policy to the extent of ploughing the paddock the Utes used for horse grazing. Foreseeing trouble, Meeker called in the army for support, a contingent of which arrived under the command, and arguably heavy and impetuous hand, of Major Thomas Thornburgh. Despite promising the Utes he would not escalate matters by military force and would keep soldiers off the reservation, Thornburgh ordered the opposite and was immediately discovered by a watchful and suspicious Ute force. This prompted open hostilities, resulting in the Battle of Milk Creek. Tactically outmanoeuvred, Thornburgh's command was held under siege and suffered significant casualties including the death of its commanding officer. The Utes then rose against their overseers on the reservation, slaughtered several men, including Meeker and took three women and two children into captivity. The survivors of Thornburgh's command were by now in a poor condition, pinned down in pits behind insubstantial barricades and surrounded by their dead animals. Annihilation would have been certain but for the timely arrival of relief in the form of the 'Buffalo Soldiers' from Fort Lewis. Hostilities progressed in the usual manner for the western frontier, once American forces became aware of the situation and applied the resources required for a definitive solution the Utes were defeated. This, irrespective of the merits of their case, was disastrous for the future of the tribe and their displacement from their traditional lands became an inevitability. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

Book Description
"Dawson and Skiff, two well known Colorado journalist, have under preparation...a history of the late Ute war...the most salient features of this most exciting episode in the history of our state." -Larimer County Independent, Nov. 20, 1879 "A history of the Ute war including...the massacre at the agency, privations and hardships of captive women...can hardly fail to be interesting." -Lawrence Daily Journal, Nov. 14, 1879 "Gives a history of the White river massacre and the privations and hardships of the captive white women." The Idaho Statesman, May 16, 1920 "The work is of thrilling interest." -Junction City Weekly Union, Dec. 6, 1879 How did a dispute between Indian agent Meeker and Utes who preferred to hunt instead gardening finally erupt into a massacre and the captivity of Josephine Meeker and her mother? How did these women survive a horrifying and lengthy captivity? In 1879, two well-known Colorado newspapermen, Thomas Fulton Dawson (1853-1923) and Frederick James Volney Skiff (1851-1921) would publish a history of the Ute war based on first-hand accounts, under the title "The Ute War: a History of the White River Massacre and the Privations and Hardships of the Captive White Women Among the Hostiles on Grand River." In introducing their work, the authors write: "The one aim of the book is to furnish...an account of the recent uprising of the Utes... from the time of Johnson''s attack upon Agent Meeker, including the Thornburgh fight at Milk River, the agency massacre, the captivity of the women, and other incidents of interest. The authors feel competent to assume this task. They have, as editors of the Tribune, written a complete history of the affair from day to day, and need simply to put in book form what they have heretofore published." Meeker Massacre and the White River War, Ute War, or the Ute Campaign, were conflicts that began when the Utes attacked an Indian agency on September 29, 1879, killing the Indian agent Nathan Meeker and his 10 male employees and took women and children as hostages. US Army forces were called in from Fort Steele in Wyoming. Following the killing of Meeker and others, there was a Ute attack at Milk Creek on U.S. troops led by Major Thomas T. Thornburgh, which killed the major and 13 troops within minutes. Relief troops were called in, which resulted in a further conflict. The conflict resulted in the forced removal of the White River Utes and the Uncompahgre Utes from Colorado,[2] and the reduction in the Southern Utes'' land holdings within Colorado. The war signalled the final defeat of the Utes and opened millions of new acreage to white settlement. About the authors: Thomas Fulton Dawson: was born June 23, 1853 and died June 25, 1923.
