Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

By studying the interrelationship of geology and the lives of settlers, Marshall limns the history of one rather inaccessible canyon in western Colorado. She brings to life a microcosm of Western historyranching, farming, struggling, weather, crimes, families, failures, and successes. She moves from one end of the present canyon to the other, "using the clues of what we see as passkeys to the world that was," as well as letters, diaries, and interviews. The result is a tribute to the historian's craft, well written, knowledgeable, and true to the lives of families from the 1881 expulsion of the Utes until now. Highly recommended for collections emphasizing the history of the West. Roland Person, Southern Illinois Univ. Lib., Carbondale
