Summary
Posey: The Last Indian War recounts the gripping and little-known tale of the final armed conflict between Native Americans and the U.S. government—an event often omitted from mainstream history books. Set in the remote red rock canyons of southeastern Utah in 1923, this compelling narrative traces the life and leadership of Chief Posey, a Ute tribal leader who fought to preserve his people's autonomy in a rapidly changing world.
Authors Dr. Steven Lacy and Pearl Baker draw on historical records, oral histories, and firsthand accounts to tell the story of resistance, cultural conflict, and tragic loss. The book balances scholarly research with engaging prose and includes poignant illustrations by Toni Shumway Lacy that bring depth to the historical characters and events.
This rare and essential volume is a must-read for those interested in Native American history, frontier justice, and the enduring struggle for indigenous rights. A powerful reflection on the closing chapter of the Indian Wars, Posey honors the bravery and dignity of a people fighting against erasure.
