During some of these battles with the Arapahoes, Ouray led as many as seven hundred warriors into the field.

Ouray rallied his small force, however, formed them into a square, and after retreating a short distance, fighting continuously for fourteen hours, succeeded in repulsing his foes.

Ouray's father married an Apache woman, hence the epithet so often sneeringly applied to the chief, by those who did not like him, of “He's an Apache pappoose.” His band became so accustomed to association with the Mexicans that some of them began to adopt the customs of that people, and when Ouray's father and mother decided to wed, they were married in the little adobe church on a hill in the village at the Red River Crossing.

When Ouray was born, he was taken to the same building and baptized into the Catholic faith.[58] Ouray was not head chief at first; but his influence increased so fast with the other bands of the tribe, that, in the year of President Lincoln's death, he was declared head chief of the whole Ute Nation.
