Ute Relations


To resume with Brigham for the last time. After a conversation about Indians, in which he denounced the military policy of the Government, averring that one bale of blankets and ten pounds of beads would go farther to protect the mails from stoppage and emigrants from massacre than a regiment of soldiers, he discovered that we crossed swords on every war-question, and tactfully changed the subject to the beauty of the Opera House.

I found the "Souci" audio clip--what a great companion to Ludlow's commentary on the ball! I also found "old posts," "new posts," the Indian blog--what a rich soup of blog postings that confound a strictly linear progression. Ludlow's text, as reproduced in your blog, produces the expectation of such a progression, but your blog is multiplying the layers in image, sound and text.
