Excerpt from A History of the White River Massacre: And the Privations and Hardships of the Captive White Women Among the Hostiles on Grand River; Illustrated In giving this little book to the public, no effort is made at literary excellence. The one aim of the book is to furnish in connected and comprehensive shape an account of the recent uprising of the Utes, and the origin and attending circumstances of the entire trouble from the time of Johnson's attack upon Agent Meeker, including the Thorn-burgh fight at Milk River, the agency massacre, the captivity of the women, and other incidents of interest. The authors feel competent to assume this task. They have, as editors of the Tribune, written a complete history of the affair from day to day, and need simply to put in book form what they have heretofore published. We have culled largely from the Denver Tribune and other papers, including the New York Herald and the Chicago Tribune, in preparing the book, and have added some information never before given to the world. In submitting this work to the public we desire simply to say that it is reliable. No facts have been either suppressed or exaggerated for sensational effect.
