Washakie makes an appearance at the Weber River in Summit County, threatens Utes about intrusion on Shoshone lands

Copied from Tullidge’s Histories, Volume II, 1889, pg 133.

In August, 1866, Wash-a-kee, the great Shoshone chief, appeared on the Weber with his band. He had always been friendly. He told the people that if any of the Utes intruded on them he would compel them to go back to their own country. This threat appeared to make the Utes more cautious for a season.
