Ouray, Chief of the Utes
Many western history enthusiasts consider Ouray to be one of the greatest of all Indian chiefs. Unlike his contemporaries, he is remembered for his negotiating and peacekeeping skills, rather than for heroic deeds on the battlefield. He was a man of keen perception and a talented diplomat; but perhaps no other Indian chief was as enigmatic. He was extremely friendly with the whites, but also realized his people would be destroyed if they did not submit to white ways. A hero, a traitor, or just an ordinary person trapped by the course of events? P. David Smith presents the facts, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions.
