During the pioneer period, the big bend of the [Weber] river was the winter home of bands of Indians. Big Ute, Indian Jack, and Little Soldier, with their followers, usually camped there. They arrived early in the fall and remained until spring, when they moved east through Ogden Valley to their summer hunting grounds. They gave the settlers little trouble aside from petty thefts, annoyance from begging and the yapping of their numerous mongrel dogs. The Indians did a little hunting and fishing. But after the country became somewhat settled, they depended mainly on the whites for a livelihood. Little Soldier’s band helped dry fruit and husk corn, for which they received produce as pay. The last time this Indian chief and his people made their camp on the bluffs west of Ogden was during the winter of 1885-1886. Early in the spring he was stricken with pneumonia. The whites gave him the best medical attention possible, but he did not recover.

[Little Soldier died in April 1884.]
