Doesn't suck as bad as you might think.... Four stars for historic value,

This review is from: Rainbow Bridge: Circling Navajo Mountain and explorations in the "badlands" of southern Utah and northern Arizona (Paperback)
In my research on southern Utah, Glen Canyon, and Navajo Mountain, I put off reading this book for as long as I could. I figured: it's written by a millionaire not a writer, it's written long after Rainbow Bridge had already been discovered, and the cover just looks kind of dumb.
But I'm glad I read it. The book features good descriptions of Navajo Mountain, of early trading posts, of traders John and Louisa Wetherill, and of a time when undiscovered Anasazi ruins could be found around every canyon bend and horses were the best way to move around in the desert. The book includes good historic photos, and is even funny at times: like when the wealthy author talks about what sort of collars he likes to wear on his shirts, or when he writes about packing a makeshift humidor for cigars. It's a must, I'd say, for fans of the Navajo Mountain area. |
