Nice article on Colorado's Chief Ouray...



Item # 675610

October 28, 1879

THE SAN DIEGO UNION, California, Oct. 28, 1879  

* Rare old West publication
* Quray- Native American chief
* Tabeguache band of Ute tribe


The top of the front page has a column headed "Chief Ouray" which begins: "Ouray, the head chief of the Utes and Uncompahgre, is an Indian of remarkable ability..." with much more, taking close to half a column. Because of his leadership ability, Ouray was acknowledged by the United States government as a chief of the Ute and he traveled to Washington, D.C. to negotiate for the welfare of the Utes. 
Four pages, some archival strengthening at the margins, a bit fragile but in nice condition.
