As noted, geographical areas occupied or frequented by the Ute Peoples include areas which are now western Colorado, northern New Mexico, most of Utah, and northernArizona. Docurrantation for the historian or ethno-historian begins in the records of the Spanish Province of New Mexico shortly after1600--not with the coming of the Anglo Americans some 200 yearslater--and the bibliography tends to be more complete for the period prior to1952. The citations are categorized by the folloWingdocument types: bibliographies and guides, manuscript material from the Spanish and Mexican Periods, miscellaneous manuscripts, U.S. Government documents, Utah Territorial documents, some contemporary newspapers, some contemporary periodicals, and otherpublished works.(PS) 4 U.S. DEPARTMENT OFHEALTH, EDUCATION & WELFARE OFFICE OF EDUCATION THIS DOCUMENT HASBEEN REPRO- DUCED EXACTLY ASRECEIVED FROM THE PERSON OR ORGANIZATIONORIG- INATING IT POINTS OF VIEWOR OPIN- IONS STATED DO NOTNECESSARILY REPRESENT OFFICIAL OFFICEOF EDU- CATION POSITION OR POLICY fr - ' ,"j4 THE UTZ. PEOPLE: A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL CHECKLIST S. Lyman Tyler INDIAN AFFAIRS #3 A Publication of the Institute of American Indian Studies Brigham Young University 1964 2 PREFACE This bibliographical checklist includes materials pertinent to research on the history of the Ute Indians and their "linguistic relatives." Some of the bibliographies or guides listed for the Spanish Period may not mention Ute Indians specifically, but if you follow your research into that period far enough, you will find that they list certain items essential to that research. Also certain items are listed that may, for example, pertain to the Navajo or Pueblo Indians rather than the Ute (or Yuta).In certain periods it is essential to know the activities that another tribe is engaged ir, to fully understand the Ute. As background one should understand that the Ute Peoples aboriginally occupied or frequented art extensive geographical area that included what is now western Colorado, northern New Mexico and northern Arizona as well as most of the present state of Utah. Documentation for the historian or ethno-historian begins in the records of t he Spanish Province of New Mexico shortly after 1600 and not with the coming of the anglo-Americans some 200 years later. I refer to this as a checklist because I am certain that many items will come to our attention from year to year that we have failed to include.You are invited to send a complete bibliographic entry for each such item that comes to your attention; .tnd with your assistance, we will try to ccrttinually make our card file more complete.The bibliography tends to be more complete for the period prior to 1952. 3 _ KEY TO ABBREVIATIONS AGI: Archivo General de las Indias, Spain AGM: Archivo General de la Nacion, Mexico AGN: Archivo General de la Nacion, Mexico B.

The narrative of historic activities serves as a guide and yardstick regarding what physical evidence of these activities—historic sites, structures, ruins and objects—are known or suspected to be present on the land, and evaluation of what their historical significance may be. Such information is essential in making a wide variety of land management decisions effecting historic cultural resources. Objectives: As a basic cultural resource inventory and evaluation tool, the narrative and initial inventory of known historic resources will serve a variety of objectives: 1. Provide information for basic Bureau planning docu¬ ments and land management decisions relating to cultural resources.

  • Best of WAGON TRACKS VOLUME 7 NOVEMBER 1992 NUMBER 1
    Best of WAGON TRACKS VOLUME 7 NOVEMBER 1992 NUMBER 1 THE DIARY OF PEDRO IGNACIO GALLEGO WHEREIN 400 SOLDIERS FOLLOWING THE TRAIL OF COMANCHES MET WILLIAM BECKNELL ON HIS FIRST TRIP TO SANTA FE by Michael L. Olsen and Harry C. Myers At the time this was written, Michael Olsen was professor of history at New Mexico Highlands University at Las Vegas, and Harry Myers was superintendent of Fort Union National Monument. Both are acknowledged scholars of the Santa Fe Trail and frequent contributors to WT. Their discovery and preparation of this significant document is a substantial contribution to Trail historiography. They presented more material about Captain Gallego, along with the story of the discovery of the diary, at the 1993 SFTA symposium. This is the first of two parts. Part Two of this article is on a separate PDF. For over a century historians have speculated about the circumstances surrounding William Becknell's jour- ney across the plains in 1821, including such issues as where he was heading and the route he followed into New Mexico. Almost exclusively they have relied on Becknell's own account of his trek. But other documentary evidence exists in the diary of Militia Urbana Captain Pedro Ignacio Gallego, who with his troops encountered Becknell's party near present Las Vegas, New Mexico, on November 13, 1821. This diary has lain untranslated and unappreciated in the Mexican Archives of New Mexico for over 1OO years. It challenges some previously held views of Becknell and his expedition. It is presented here with a short introductory narrative, annotation of its salient points, and commentary on the precise geographical information it provides.

  • Natural History Museum Unveils Portrait of Juana María, the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island
    Media Contact: Briana Sapp Tivey Director of Marketing and Communications Email: [email protected] Phone: 805-682-4711 ext. 117 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Natural History Museum Unveils Portrait of Juana María, the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island Local Artist Holli Harmon Creates Likeness Based on First-Hand Accounts Santa Barbara, California (February 21, 2018) — The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History recently unveiled a historically accurate portrait of Juana María, the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island. Fictionalized as “Karana” in Scott O’Dell’s novel Island of the Blue Dolphins, she was a real person who lived by herself on San Nicolas Island. Accidentally left behind in 1835, when the last of the native inhabitants were conveyed to the mainland at the request of the Santa Barbara Mission priests, she resourcefully caught her own food, made her own clothes, and built her own shelter for 18 years. In 1853, Carl Dittman and sea otter hunter Captain George Nidever found the woman alive and well. She willingly returned to the mainland on his ship, living with Nidever’s family in Santa Barbara for only seven weeks before she tragically fell ill and died. The Lone Woman was conditionally baptized with the name Juana María and buried at the Santa Barbara Mission. Harmon’s piece is the first painting to be based on historical records. Most representations of Juana María to date have been based on the romantic image popularized in O’Dell’s book. A research team including archaeologist Steve Schwartz, historian Susan Morris, and Museum Curator of Anthropology John Johnson supplied local artist Holli Harmon with historically accurate descriptions of the Lone Woman.

MURPHY'" THE ROLE of the military was vital in consolidating the authority of the United States government in the Southwest. As an army of occupation, troops prevented dissidents among the populace from mounting a successful revolt against the foreign intruders. For a time the military was the only operating government. Its officers promulgated the laws and selected officials. Moreover, it kept hos­ tile Indians from overrunning the territory. Much has been .written about such well-known military establishments as Fort Union and Fort Defiance. Little is known about the smaller, less famous posts. A study of the activities of the army in the northern New Mexican town of Taos, may illuminate the importance of the soldier in es­ tablishing United States domination in New Mexico. That the permanent occupation of the Southwest could not be accomplished peacefully became clear during the early months of 1847 when word reached Santa Fe of a bloody anti-American revolt in Taos.

  • Non-Mormon Presence in 1880S Utah
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Earth and Mineral Sciences THE WASP IN THE BEEHIVE: NON-MORMON PRESENCE IN 1880S UTAH A Thesis in Geography by Samuel A. Smith c 2008 Samuel A. Smith Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science August 2008 The thesis of Samuel A. Smith was read and approved1 by the following: Deryck W. Holdsworth Professor of Geography Thesis Adviser Roger Downs Professor of Geography Karl Zimmerer Professor of Geography Head of the Department of Geography 1. Signatures on file in the Graduate School. iii Abstract Recent studies have reconsidered the Mormon Culture Region in light of its 1880{1920 transition to American political and economic norms. While these studies emphasize conflicts between the Mormon establishment and the non-Mormon federal government, Mormon/non-Mormon relations within Utah have received little direct attention. Based on religious affiliations recorded in the 1880 federal census of Utah Territory, this study uses historical GIS to visualize the composition of Utah's \Mormon" and \non-Mormon" towns. The results highlight the extensive presence of religious minorities in Utah's settlements. Case studies of farm villages, mining camps, and urban neighborhoods probe the social and economic contexts of non-Mormon presence in Utah. These studies, based on Sanborn maps and city directories, explore the geographical mosaic of Mormon and non-Mormon residence and business activity. These variegated patterns, often absent from historical accounts of the region, enable localized analyses of the ensuing decades of cultural conflict, transformation and assimilation. Keywords: Mormons, non-Mormons, Mormon Culture Region, Utah, 1880 Cen- sus, historical demography.

  • Reader's Guide to the Mountain Men of the American West
    Reader©s Guide to the Mountain Men of the American West Antoine Clement, by Alfred Jacob Miller Compiled by Stuart Wier October 25, 2010 This is a guide to the best books about the mountain men of the American west which I know about. Anyone can find a book here to suit them: casual readers, students, enthusiasts, reenactors, and historians. I include a few less distinguished books, too, when they are the only thing about a topic. For some fifteen years -- roughly speaking, 1823 to 1838 and beyond -- the western U.S. was the domain of the mountain men, fur trappers who spent years traveling and living in the wilderness. Long before wagon trains, settlers, gold rushes, cavalry, Indian wars, cowboys, wild west towns, or railroads, mountain men were the first from the U.S. to see the Rocky Mountains and the lands from the plains to the Pacific. Their life was highly free and adventuresome, and often dangerous and short, lived in a shining wilderness. Where to begin? Many books, many choices. For a readable and short introduction try Give Your Heart to the Hawks by Winfred Blevins. For detailed histories try A Life Wild and Perilous by Robert M. Utley or the classic history Across the Wide Missouri by Bernard DeVoto. Or try some of the best biographies, such as Westering Man The Life of Joseph Walker by Bil Gilbert and Jedediah Smith and the Opening of the West by Dale L. Morgan. For adventures or "camp fire tales" try the personal journals and narratives written by some of the mountain men themselves.
