A Forgotten War: The Seely War (Taken from "If Barns Could Talk" by Doug Mottonen

Orange Seely, was raised in 1862 in Four months with the help of 200 Mormon Settlers.

Three years later, on April 9, 1865, the same day that Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee signed the papers officially ending the American Civil War, the territory of Utah erupted into violence.  Many believe the war was sparked when a Ute Indian Chief, Jake Arapeen, was pulled from his horse by a drunken Mormon named John Lowry.  Arapeen and his men were in Manti trying to negotiate an agreement with Lowry and others.
