Battle Between U.S. Soldiers and Ire Indians Marker

Site of Battle Between U.S. Army Soldiers and Ute Indians This rock monument, build in 1930 on the 80th anniversary of the settling of Pleasant Grove, commemorates the Sunday morning of 12 April 1863 attack by Indians on Colonel Connors army troops. The battle occurred outside the fort wall, and from within and near the John Green house, which was situated one block south of the wall, probably at this site. On the afternoon of 13 September 1930, twonspeople traveled by caravan to this and 5 other historic sites in town to hear a bugle call, brief histories of each site and band music at each stop. This appears to be the only existing monument left of the six erected in 1930.
