Utah History

About this title

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.

About the Author

William B. Smart, a descendant of William H. Smart, is the coeditor, with Donna T. Smart, of Over the Rim: The Parley P. Pratt Exploring Expedition to Southern Utah, 1849-1850; and, with Terry Tempest Williams, of New Genesis: A Mormon Reader on Land and Community.
