Great Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Over The Rim (Paperback)
I enjoy reading diaries of the pioneers and explorers of the American West and this book is one of the best I've read. After each diary entry the editor provides additional information to clarify. I especially enjoyed the appendix which provides a brief biography and a picture of each member of the expedition. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the old west.

A Book To Read While Laying On Your Belly & A Hundred Other Positions,
By Jess Smart Smiley "http://www.paper-muncher.b... (Wait-a-bit, Utah) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Over The Rim (Paperback)
Over The Rim
Indians, hieroglyphics, encounters with Purbelow the horse-thief, hundreds of miles of "cheerless snow", 2 quarts of bile, catamounts, "one bump on the road...forty miles long", juniper trees, boxing, "pickles & coffee got up in a style not easily surpassed"... Over the Rim is an easy to follow, engaging look into the lives of Parley P Pratt and the (give or take a few) attending fifty on the exploration of Southern Utah. It's a little remembered historical trek that proved the faith and physical endurance of these men. Thanks to the editors, we have a book that calls back to the Old West, the Mormon pioneers, and the settlers of the state of Utah. |
