Synopsis
Over the Rim is the first book about an important but little-known expedition sent by Brigham Young to explore southern Utah. Led by Mormon apostle Parley P. Pratt, the party traveled from Salt Lake City south across the rim of the Great Basin to the Virgin River near future St. George. They brought back to Mormon leaders their first detailed portrait of the country to the south that the church planned to settle.

Paperback. Condition: New. Brand new book!; "This little-known expedition, led by Parley P. Pratt, thus had a large impact on Utah history. It was also a dramatic and adventurous journey. The journals of the expedition - published complete in Over the Rim for the first time - record the feat of an unusual party of righteous frontiersmen who, challenged by harsh weather and difficult terrain, opened a way for Mormon expansion toward the Pacific coast and along the way documented much about both their new homeland and the native Utes and Paiutes their people would displace." --BOOK JACKET. ; 6" x 9"; 280 pages; Seller Inventory # 40103
