| Content Description | re: Hartsuff again considers the prospects of trouble with the upcoming relocation of the Uncompahgre Utes to their new reservation in Utah at the junction of the Green and White Rivers. He expresses contempt for the "Civil Authority" which "spend & squander & steal" appropriations while the military looks on and enforces its arbitrary will on the Utes. Hartsuff, concerned about the assassination of Pres. Garfield, worries that the consequences "will convulse the whole country". |
