Synopsis

Written from the point of view of a wagon master journeying with settlers to the area from Utah and Idaho Territory in 1887 and then returning more than 100 years later, Our Land, Our Soul: Majestic Teton Valley--The Tetons' Western Slope features 102 photographs and Soyland's poetry and prose that celebrate the rare beauty of the region. This is the first book devoted solely to the Teton's western slope, Soyland indicates, and it was a true labor of love. Soyland wrote the text from the point of view of a wagon master because he was intrigued by what early settlers felt when they saw this magnificent valley for the first time, and what they might think could they return in 2011. He writes of the Tetons: A peak so imposing, so Grand as to dominate the sky itself and, yes, surrounding that grand mountain will be three others of lesser size, brothers of the Grand one and there, at their feet will be spread the tablecloth of dreams and hopes come true. Soyland says his goal is to inspire others to protect the landscape and the wildlife that inhabits it so that in another hundred years, and for generations to come, this magical place will remain unchanged.
