THE winter of 1860 was a cold and snowy season and one where the residents of Cache Valley took care of some 200 Native Americans.
According to the Deseret News of March 21, 1860: "The people in that (Cache) Valley have been greatly annoyed with Indians during the winter and they have had to feed about two hundred of them most of the time since last fall, which has been a heavy tax, but it had to be borne, as there was no alternative but to fee them or do worse," the News reported.
The roads that winter from Ogden to the Box Elder County line were good, but from there on to Cache Valley were bad, an almost impassible.
