The activities of Henry L. Mitchell, a non-Mormon who attempted to settle the San Juan area prior to the coming of the Mormons in 1879 are recounted. He was a quarrelsome man who for six years in the early 1880s played various groups against each other to his advantage. He involved the Navajos, Utes, Indian agents, Mormons, cavalry, Utah Territorial governor, and the commissioner of Indian affairs in a series of incidents that kept the San Juan area in conflict and turbulence.
