Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Civilization by Removal!: The Southern Utes
The reports of the Agents in charge of these Indians from year to year discover what has been done, and what success has been attained in carrying out the provisions of this agreement by the government. In 1881 the agent reports no schools, but an effort made to induce the Indians to send their children to Carlisle, Penn'a.; lands examined, and surveys being made; not enough agricultural land to give as much as had been promised. (the agreement was, in this case, that additional land on the La Plata River in New Mexico should be given them). The Denver and Rio Grande R. R., without coming to any arrangement with the Indians, as ordered by the Secretary of the Interior, made 50 miles of road through the Reservation. This, added to the fact of trespassers Crowding them on every side, and talk of removing them, keeps the Indians uneasy. (the government had pledged itself to protect them against such intrusions.) In 1882 the Agent commends the good behavior of the Indians in not interfering with the running of trains on 50 miles of road built on their lands without compensation or any arrangement. No schools; no farms opened. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
