Description |
A letter containing the appeal of Buckskin Charlie; the Federal Government wanted the Utes between 18 and 45 to register for the draft. Buckskin Charlie argues that the Indians have buried their weapons of war and do not want to participate in the war against the Germans, and so do not want to register for the draft. |
