The Uintah Reservation where the Ute nation was supposed to go from central Utah when federal laws in the 1860's extinguished their rights which they possessed or believed they possessed in agricultural and mineral lands in the center of the state. The Uintah Reservation once laid in a land region from the Wasatch Mountains on the west to Green River on the east, thus occupying most of the Uintah Basin. When the war broke out the White man knew nothing of the territory of St. George, Dixie, Wasatch, Aquarius, Paunsaugnut and the Fish Lake land sites. With this advantage the Indian could follow the White militia who were supposed to be hunting the Indian, without the White militia ever being aware of what was going on. The country was so huge and vast it would take more militia that the organization could afford to spare, who were protecting the forts and settlements. Black Hawk's War was rather successful suc-cessful and militarily was an act of history, but Black Hawk veterans began to dwindle fast after FDR's War on Depression began. The Black Hawk War ended in 1872. |
