Award-winning author Charles S. Peterson has accomplished a many-faceted goal in this comprehensive volume. Primarily, he has delineated the history of the Manti-La Sal National Forest, receiving, in this absorbing work, the generous assistance of the Forest Service. Of equal interest to the reader, he has woven that history into the interrelated background of a region known as one of the most wild and wonderful in America. Dr. Peterson writes of the livestock frontier, the era of sheep, the alternating militant and peaceful relations between colonizers and Indians, of colorful early settlers and Forest Service officials, of wildlife, timber, transportation problems, and many other aspects of a fascinating region.
