After many years, the Indians decided to fight back, and they began to organize a plan.
The Spanish had hit a big vein of silver and started opening 2 extremely rich silver mines, (as is told by the local Indians.) The Spanish treated their new slaves very harshly and worked them to death in some cases. The Paiute Indians were confused, scared, and wanted to stop the Spaniards, but they backed down as they saw some of their people being tied up and forced to leave their camp.Ī few months went by and soon even more Spaniards started to arrive in Southern Utah and took more slaves with them to the mountains. This time, the Spanish were aggressive, angry, and irritated, and became forceful as they started rounding up some of the younger Indians and tying them up. But things were different the Spanish were on a mission and it was not a friendly visit. One day, after a few months of the first encounter with the Conquistador’s arrival, the Spanish returned to the Indians camp. It is said that the Spanish Conquistadors were gone for some time, and there were only a couple reports from other Paiute Indians mentioning of a “strange-looking people” that had been spotted now and then riding horses and were scouting around the mountains. The Spaniards left their camp very quickly and disappeared without a trace. The Paiutes finally gave in and pointed to the high mountains of the valley.
They showed the Indians some shiny gold and then tried to convince them that they were explorers and were only there looking for minerals. After a few days of talking and getting to know the Indians, the Spanish Conquistadors brought up the conversation of gold and silver minerals. During their early stages of learning the landscape and becoming familiar with the area, they came across a few Paiute Indians. The Spaniards decided to stick around in what is now the St. I was told that a small group of Spaniards that had been following the Old Spanish Trail had ventured off into the Southwestern region of Utah and discovered a tribe of local Indians. (I don’t know if you could say you’re a treasure hunter if words like that don’t catch your immediate attention and interest.) Needless to say, I was VERY interested and wanted to hear more.Ī LOOK INTO THE BACKSTORY OF RICHES AND LOST HISTORY This story happened to be right up my alley because it had to do with Spanish explorations, lost mines, slavery, and 400 Spanish silver bars hidden in the tall mountains of the St. In 2009 there was a story that was brought to my attention a story of riches and lost history that was practically right in my own backyard.
