The Tintic War was a short series of skirmishes occurring in February 1856 in the Tintic and Cedar Valleys of Utah, occurring after the conclusion of the Walker War. It was named after a sub-chief of the Ute Tribe and involved several clashes between settlers and natives, mostly over the natives’ theft of cattle because of drought.
