Customer Reviews

An insightful study of an isolated region.

This is an excellent overview of a region which is well known for the scenery, but whose people and history are little noted. Blending history, literature and miscellaneous observation, Geary paints a fascinating picture of the sparsely populated Colorado plateau section of Utah, a land of small Mormon farming communities, wide spaces and beautiful landscapes. For some reason, this book is not found in any of the tourist bookshops in the area, yet it is--while not a "tourbook" in the usual sense--the best source to really understand the area.
