Three Score and Ten in Retrospect
nearly two million acres were set aside by the Executive Order of January 5, 1882. The ensuing pattern of allotments of part and restoration to the "public domain" of the balance of the reservation set the stage for future battles: first, between the Uncompahgres and other Indians of the Ouray Reservation; second, between the Ute Indians and the homesteaders and other white livestock operators for the right to graze livestock in these parts; and third, between the Ute Indian tribe and the State of Utah over jurisdiction and reservation boundaries.

The Solicitor very aptly described the whole process as the pursuit of a tortuous and futile way. Legal maneuvering was equally fruitless.
