    Jack Hillers's Diary of the Powell Expeditions, 1871-1875 Photographed All the Best Scenery: Jack Hillers’s Diary of the Powell Expeditions, 1871–1875 , edited by Don D. Fowler, presents the firsthand account of photographer Jack Hillers, who served on John Wesley Powell’s expeditions through the American West. The diary offers vivid, ground-level details of daily life, travel, and photography during the surveys, enhanced by Fowler’s excellent annotations and inclusion of Hillers’s photographs. While the entries are sometimes fragmentary and more descriptive than reflective, they provide invaluable insight into the logistical and human aspects of 19th-century exploration.

Violence over the Land: Indians and Empires in the Early American West  by Ned Blackhawk American Indians remain familiar as icons, yet poorly understood as historical agents. In this ambitious book that ranges across Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, and eastern California (a region known as the Great Basin), Ned Blackhawk places Native peoples squarely at the center of a dynamic and complex story as he chronicles two centuries of Indian and imperial history that profoundly shaped the American West. On the distant margins of empire, Great Basin Indians increasingly found themselves engulfed in the chaotic storms of European expansion and responded in ways that refashioned themselves and those around them. Focusing on Ute, Paiute, and Shoshone Indians, Blackhawk illuminates this history through a lens of violence, excavating the myriad impacts of colonial expansion. Brutal networks of trade and slavery forged the Spanish borderlands, and the use of violence became for many Indian...

  Ute Tales by Anne M. Smith Ethnologist Anne Smith lived and worked among the Utes in the 1930’s. During her work, she recorded Uinta, White River, and Uncompahgre tales from members of the last generation born in the preservation era. These distinctive animal and human tales offer a rich source of Ute culture for anyone interested in the peoples of the Great Basin. The 102 stories here are ribald, sometimes violent, yet delicately balanced and full of humor. In addition to Smith’s transcriptions from Ute storytellers, Ute Tales contains photographs made in 1909 by Edward Sapir and in 1936 by Alden Hayes.

Ute Land Religion in the American West, 1879-2009 by Brandi Denison Ute Land Religion in the American West, 1879–2009, is a narrative of American religion and how it intersected with land in the American West. Before 1881, Utes lived on the largest reservation in North America—twelve million acres of western Colorado. Brandi Denison takes a broad look at the Ute land dispossession and resistance to disenfranchisement by tracing the shifting cultural meaning of dirt, a physical thing, into land, an abstract idea. This shift was made possible through the development and deployment of an idealized American religion based on Enlightenment ideals of individualism, Victorian sensibilities about the female body, and an emerging respect for diversity and commitment to religious pluralism that was wholly dependent on a separation of economics from religion.  As the narrative unfolds, Denison shows how Utes and their Anglo-American allies worked together to systematize a religion out of exis...

  The Utes: A Forgotten People by Rockwell, Wilson _____________________________________________________________________________ Former Colorado Senator Rockwell researched extensively and interviewed many people before writing this authoritative work about Colorado's early residents. The Utes: A Forgotten People has been used as the primary resource for every book on the Utes written since. It includes many photographs as well as most of the major Ute treaties.

  Report on the Arid Region of the United States by John Wesley Powell (1878) The work aimed to establish an equitable and sustainable framework for developing the arid regions of the United States—areas defined by low annual rainfall that collectively encompass roughly 40% of the continental territory. It begins with a detailed examination of the western climate, drawing upon Smithsonian meteorological data as well as Powell’s own extensive field observations from his surveys of the region. Powell identifies and evaluates three primary categories of land within the arid zone: irrigable lands, timber lands, and pasturage lands. After outlining the region’s climatic characteristics, he challenges several prevailing assumptions of the era regarding the American West and advances a series of policy recommendations for Congressional consideration.

A Final Promise: The Campaign to Assimilate the Indians, 1880-1920 By Hoxie, Frederick E Summary: In the latter nineteenth century, diverse and influential elements in white America combined forces to settle the 'Indian question' through assimilation. The results were the essentially treaty-breaking Dawes Act of 1887, related legislation, and dubious court decisions. Schoolteachers and missionaries were dispatched to the reservations en masse. Eventual 'citizenship' without functional rights was given to Native Americans; the Indians lost two-thirds of the reservation land as it had existed before the assimilationist campaign. With insight and skill that go well beyond craft, Hoxie has admirably defined issues and motives, placed economic/political/social interaction into cogent perspective, brought numerous Anglo and Indian individuals and organizations to life, and set forth important lessons.
