The Law Relating To Protestant Nonconformists And Their Places Of Worship Book

Streets, a town, a county, and many other landmarks in Western Colorado bear his name, and rightly so, for Chief Ouray was a wise and brave leader with a fascinating biography. Smith's presentation is solid and informative, and rewards the reader with a well rounded understanding of the man, his people, and the broken promises that swallowed up their land. Of particular interest is the duality of peace and violence that dwelt within the man. He was a fearless Ute/Apache warrior who did not hesitate to kill as means of preserving the larger peace. Smith's description of Ouray's killing of Hot Stuff (named so because of an accident with a chemistry set) led me to seek out the exact spot while visiting the Ute Indian Museum near Montrose, CO. Not sure if I found the spot, but the museum is well worth visiting and admission is only three dollars.
