San Juan County, Utah: People, Resources, and History edited by Allan Kent Powell

Published on Sep 6, 2018

Utah Historical Society

"This volume on San Juan County history is published for the benefit of four groups: the residents of the county with the hope they might come to know their heritage and themselves better through these pages; the visitor to the county who wishes not only to enjoy the magnificent scenic wonders of southeastern Utah but also to learn of the people and their struggles to gain and maintain a foothold in this vast land; those whose interest in Utah and western history draws them to seek an understanding of the development of the Four Corners region and its relationship to other areas; and San Juan County's schoolchildren, that they might have a supplemental volume on their own region for use as they study Utah and American history." Published by the Utah State Historical Society - 1983
