The Utes: A Forgotten People

The Utes: A Forgotten People

Who were the Ute Indians? And what part did they play in the history of the Western Slope? When prospectors arrived in present day Colorado in 1858, it was the Utes who greeted them. These Native Americans had inhabited this part of the Rocky Mountains for centuries. When originally published in 1956, The Utes: A Forgotten People was the first published book devoted solely to an overall history of the Ute Indians. Wilson Rockwell undertook painstaking research and many interviews to extensively record the history of the early Native Americans who once dominated our region. Rockwell includes everything; it's all here, from the fights, conflicts, customs, and pre-history to the dances, economy, movement, and famous leaders of the seven Ute bands who contributed so much to the history of western Colorado and Utah. This book has been used as the primary source of research for every book on the Utes written since.
