The free-roaming Ute Indians were the first modern-day people to live in the White River valley. After mounting tensions erupted into violence and the Indian agency near present-day Meeker was attacked; the Ute were soon evicted from northwestern Colorado in 1881. By that time; adventurous people were pressing in at all sides to settle the area. Settlers drawn by land speculation and ranching populated this rural area. Ranching; hunting; guiding; and coal; oil shale; oil; and gas extraction were the ways people made their livings; or hoped to; in this region. Meeker had it all with a touch of Wild West and a promise of the American dream�and all in a setting that would lure Teddy Roosevelt himself. Inside this book are glimpses of the people; traditions; celebrations; and ways of life of those who lived here before us.
