Book Review

The Ute Indians of Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. By Virginia McConnell Simmons. (Niwot: University Press of Colorado, 2000. xxii, 323 pp. $29.95, ISBN 0-87081-571-7.)

Covering the history of all eleven Ute bands, Virginia McConnell Simmons presents a comprehensive account of recorded events involving Utes from 1598 through 1923. Chapters 1 and 2 sketch the archaeologically known prehistory of the Utes and their territory as well as the geography and the linguistic and cultural affiliations of the Utes with other Native Americans. A concluding chapter, "Today's Ute Indians," sketches changes and the eventual stabilization of life on the three Ute reservations between 1918 and 1934. The book's comprehensiveness brings a number of situations and events into the narrative that are little known; for example, the brief residence of several hundred Utes as prisoners of war at forts in South Dakota. An index makes the book user-friendly as a reference; a center photo section of twelve pictures adds visual interest. . . .
