The conflict resulted in the forced removal of the White River Utes and the Uncompahgre Utes from Colorado, and the reduction in the Southern Utes' land holdings within Colorado. The war signaled the final defeat of the Utes and opened millions of new acreage to settlement. Engraving for National Police Gazette, October 18, 1879 (cropped and cleaned).
