  • The Frontiers of American Grand Strategy: Settlers, Elites, and the Standing Army in America’S Indian Wars
    THE FRONTIERS OF AMERICAN GRAND STRATEGY: SETTLERS, ELITES, AND THE STANDING ARMY IN AMERICA’S INDIAN WARS A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Andrew Alden Szarejko, M.A. Washington, D.C. August 11, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Andrew Alden Szarejko All Rights Reserved ii THE FRONTIERS OF AMERICAN GRAND STRATEGY: SETTLERS, ELITES, AND THE STANDING ARMY IN AMERICA’S INDIAN WARS Andrew Alden Szarejko, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Andrew O. Bennett, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Much work on U.S. grand strategy focuses on the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. If the United States did have a grand strategy before that, IR scholars often pay little attention to it, and when they do, they rarely agree on how best to characterize it. I show that federal political elites generally wanted to expand the territorial reach of the United States and its relative power, but they sought to expand while avoiding war with European powers and Native nations alike. I focus on U.S. wars with Native nations to show how domestic conditions created a disjuncture between the principles and practice of this grand strategy. Indeed, in many of America’s so- called Indian Wars, U.S. settlers were the ones to initiate conflict, and they eventually brought federal officials into wars that the elites would have preferred to avoid. I develop an explanation for settler success and failure in doing so. I focus on the ways that settlers’ two faits accomplis— the act of settling on disputed territory without authorization and the act of initiating violent conflict with Native nations—affected federal decision-making by putting pressure on speculators and local elites to lobby federal officials for military intervention, by causing federal officials to fear that settlers would create their own states or ally with foreign powers, and by eroding the credibility of U.S.

  • The Colorado Magazine
    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published by The State Historical and Natural History Society of Colorado Devoted to the Interests of the Society, Colorado, and the West Copyrighted 1924 by the State Historical and Natural History Society of Colorado. VOL. Denver, Colorado, November, 1924 NO. 7 Spanish Expeditions Into Colorado:f. By Alfred Barnaby Thomas, M. A., Berkeley, California. I. INTRODUCTION We customarily associate Spanish explorations in the West with New Mexico, with Texas, with Arizona, or with California, but not with Colorado. Yet Spaniards in the eighteenth century were well acquainted with large portions of the region now com­ prised in that state. Local historians of Colorado often err by pushing the clock too far back, and asserting that Coronado, Oriate, and other sixteenth century conquistadores entered the state. On the other hand, they fail to mention several important expeditions which at a later date did enter the confines of the state. An Outpost of New Mexico.-The Colorado region in Span­ ish days was a frontier of New Mexico. Santa Fe was the base for Colorado as San Agustin was for Georgia. Three interests especially spurred the New Mexicans to make long journeys northward to the Platte River, to the upper Arkansas in central Colorado, and to the Dolores, Uncomphagre, Gunnison, and Grand Rivers on the western borders. These interests were Indians, French intruders, and rumored mines. After 1673 reports of Frenchmen in the Pawnee country constantly worried officials at Santa Fe. Frequently tales of gold and sil'ver were wafted southward to sensitive Spanish ears at the New Mexico capital.

  • Indian History- Time Line
    Indian history- time line Some facts about the Paleo Indians: about 10,000 years ago, they traveled in groups of 10-20 people; Paleo Indians were hunters and gathers; They hunted herds of big game; Their clothes were animal skins; They had no bow or arrows (used 9,500 years later) at that time; Their shelter was over hanging rock (shelves); Their life span was about 30 years. When large animals left the area, they hunted sheep, deer antelope, bison and some elk. They settled in the nearby drainages and ate their hunted animals. Ute Indian were a nomadic group. They lived in Wiki ups and then teepees. In 1500’s, the Spanish colonized the New Mexico and Colorado area and brought in the horses. In 1776, Dominquez and Escalante used the Spanish trails, followed by Mountain Men and finally the Mormons in 1840. The Spanish traders wanted the dark pelts of beaver. After the beavers were trapped out, the Utes offered brain tanned buckskin (deer and mountain sheep) which was very soft and good for trade. These buckskin hides became very popular as riding breeches and outdoor garments. The Tanning process: The Utes cleaned the hides starting with flesh side up, and staked the hides to dry. The hair, fat and extra meat was scraped off repeatly. When dried, they rubbed both sides with a paste was made out of the animal brains, then place the hides over smoke fires to dry and cut down on the shrinkage. The process took about 8 hours per skin. When starvation set in, the Utes would eat their clothing.

  • Ethnohistorical Data
    South Unit Overview Ethnohistorical Data Ethnohistorical Data There is essentially no historical documentation the Ute visited the South Unit. The absence of documentation necessitates that this ethnohistoric review must begin with the archaeological evidence that has been gathered from the area. Ashley personnel have documented six sites with diagnostic Ute artifacts (Desert side-notch arrow heads and Intermountain brownware pottery), Ute style rock art sites, culturally modified trees and brush drivelines. Once we identified sites that appeared to represent Ute activity, we attempted to understand what activities and purposes the sites may represent. Accomplishing this undertaking has turned into a formidable challenge and is still a work in progress. The Ute have long been reluctant to give information to anthropologists (Jorgensen 1964:xvi-xvii) and this continues today as our staff has been denied access to tribal members by the Tribal Business Committee. In spite of this obstacle, Ashley Heritage staff have been able to question some Ute elders and have examined the anthropological literature to gain some perspective. In addition, not all information garnered from Ute informants can be shared in this forum because of confidentiality concerns, especially concerning medicinal and ceremonial activities. Other authors attest to a dearth of historical archaeological research, especially in this region. “While the history of the region has been thoroughly documented in scores of professional and popular reports, the historical archaeology of the region has scarcely been addressed” (Spangler 1993a:450). Nickens (1988:3) also felt that historic Ute archaeology has endured a lack of “wide-ranging systematic attempts on the part of investigators to collect field data on Ute remains” and that the “root of our problem lies in the absence of synthetic or holistic approach to the various data”.

  • Hamburgers and Sandwiches
    MEEKER’S FIRST AUTOMOBILE ―The first automobile to make its appearance in this valley arrived Tuesday evening, the distance between Rifle and Meeker having been covered in three and one-half hours, including stops and one slight breakdown. Mr. W.W. Price and Dr. C.E. Smith were the passengers The machine was given a box stall at Simp Harp‘s livery, and ‗Salty‘ was on hand with a new fifty-foot rope and a pair of hobbles to secure the thing. All the horses in the barn talked it over that night, and concluded that when the roads were bad it would be the same old thing- double up and get up in the collar. It will not prove as destructible on the range ‗as sheep‘. Meeker is one of the principal cattle markets of this section of the west and cowboys are always riding about its street. When the auto and its passengers came down the main street several of the boys got out their lassoes and tried to put the rope around one of its wheels. After Mr. Price had put it up at Simp Harp‘s, a party of the range-riders entered the stable and went through the ceremony of branding it as a maverick. The motor was the first of its kind to go through the Grand River Canyon, and for many miles passed over a highway, which has been blasted out of the solid rock by the state. The road is only wide enough to allow one vehicle to pass, and on either side the walls in some places reach a height of a thousand feet.‖ Compliments of the Herald Times.

  • Teacher Resource Set
    Teacher Resource Set Title Ute Indian Tribe/Northern Ute People (Uintah and Ouray Reservation) Developed by Laura Douglas, Education ala Carte Grade Level 3-4 Essential Question How can primary sources help us learn about mistakes from the past and not make the same ones again in the future? What social and economic decisions caused the forced migration of the Ute people? Contextual Paragraph The Ute Tribe lives on the Uintah and Ouray Reservation in Fort Duschesne, Utah. It is the second largest Indian reservation in the US, and covers over 4.5 million acres. The tribe’s membership is 3,022 people. Over half of the membership lives on the Reservation. The Ute Indian Tribe are descendants of the Tabeguache, Yamparika, Parianuche, Uintah, Cumumba, Tupanawach, San Pitch, Pah Vant and Sheberetch bands. They were a nomadic mountain people and ranged throughout this area extensively, following the cycle of the seasons. The acquisition of the horse in 1640 allowed them to travel more easily over a wider range. For food, they hunted large game; gathered berries, nuts, roots and small game; and fished. For shelter, Utes built brush dwellings known as wickiups or used tipis. The family was, and is, the center of Ute life and includes immediate and extended family members. The decade of the 1870s brought about numerous changes in which the US Government, through a series of agreements and legislation, removed Utes from their traditional land. After the 1873 Brunot Agreement, whites interested in mining in the San Juan Mountains continued to push Utes off the land.
