Tracks in Deep TimeThe St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm

Jerald D. Harris and Andrew R. C. Milner

In February 2000, while excavating his property in

St. George, Utah, Sheldon Johnson turned over a piece of

ground and discovered a fully preserved dinosaur footprint.

That track was the first of many fossils to be uncovered. Five

years later, the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site (SGDS) at

Johnson Farm was established to preserve one of the richest

and oldest dinosaur-age fossil sites in Utah.

Tracks in Deep Time presents, for the first time, an

engaging, thoroughly readable account of the history,

geology, and paleontology of this important site. Two

hundred million years ago, Lake Dixie covered this area.

Within its waters and along its shores, a diverse ecosystem

of organisms thrived, leaving behind thousands of

footprints and other fossils preserved in layers of rock.

Unusual fossils found here include the world’s largest

collection of tracks left by swimming dinosaurs, and one

of only six traces known to have been made by a sitting,

meat-eating dinosaur. With approachable text and lavish,

full-color photographs and illustrations, Jerald Harris and

Andrew Milner describe how geologists and paleontologists

have painstakingly reconstructed a vivid snapshot of life

from the Early Jurassic.

“This book will enhance the experience of anyone visiting the

St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site. It provides an exceptional

opportunity for readers to explore the thrill of scientific discovery

and the enchantment of Utah’s prehistoric life.”

—Frank L. Decourten, author of Dinosaurs of Utah and The Broken Land: Adventures in Great Basin Geology

Jerald D. Harris is the director of paleontology at Dixie State University in St. George, Utah, and is an advisor to the Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm.

Andrew R. C. Milner is the site paleontologist and curator at the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm. He has been at the site since its inception and now runs the museum’s preparation laboratory and conducts field work in southern Utah.

Hiking the EscalanteIn the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area

Rudi Lambrechtse

The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument

covers 1.7 million acres in southern Utah, offering the

hiker an experience of deep solitude surrounded by a wealth

of geological, biological, and archaeological treasures. Hiking

the Escalante opens the door to exploration of this highly

scenic area of meandering canyons with relatively few

marked trails. It lists fifty hikes by degree of difficulty and

includes directions to trailheads, instructions for how to

follow particular routes, choices of side canyons along the

way, suggestions for loop hikes, and occasional alternative

destinations. Along with hike descriptions, the book

provides information on the geology, natural history, and

human history of the area. This new edition contains seven

new hikes, new photographs, and updated information

about hike terrain.

“An invaluable resource to anyone traversing the Escalante.”

—Escalante Outfftters.com

“The classic Escalante guide book.  First published in 1985,

Lambrechtse’s book describes most of the side canyon drainages

that feed into the Escalante River. From day hikes to backcountry

adventures this is one of the most used books in the canyons.”

—UtahCanyons.com

Rudi Lambrechtse has been hiking in the Escalante canyons for more than forty years, logging over 1,500 miles. He worked in the Grand Canyon for eight years as a trail and river guide. Recently retired from teaching elementary school, he’s still actively hiking and river running. Arizona has been his home for the past thirty-eight years.

The Rocky Mountain National Park ReaderEdited by James H. Pickering

Writer Wallace Stegner once wrote that “No place is

a place until things that have happened in it are

remembered.” This collection celebrates one of America’s

most loved places, Rocky Mountain National Park, which

marks its 100th birthday in 2015. Engagement with place

and the events that loom large in park history are the

underlying themes that connect the thirty-three selections

that make up this anthology.

Representative both in subject and approach, the

selections reach back to Arapaho and pioneer times,

before the park was established, and move forward to span

its entire first century. The voices that speak to us are

distinctive: some tell us about the past, recalling moments

of personal triumph and tragedy; some are quieter, others

more polemic. All capture and share a part of the national

treasure that is Rocky Mountain National Park.

This original collection is a rich literary and historical

compendium that provides an indispensable introduction to

the nation’s twelfth national park.

“A latter-day Enos Mills, Jim Pickering has emerged as the

foremost and most prolific historian-champion of Estes Park and

Rocky Mountain National Park. In this crackerjack anthology, Jim

celebrates the park’s centennial with a rich selection of reflections.”

—Tom “Dr. Colorado” Noel, University of Colorado Denver

James H. Pickering is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Houston, where he served as dean, provost, and president. He has written or edited 30 books on Estes Park, Colorado, and the American West. Since 2006 he has served as Historian Laureate of Estes Park. His book, Joe Mills of Estes Park (2013), was a finalist for the Colorado Book Award.

Last Chance BywayThe History of Nine Mile Canyon

Jerry D. Spangler and Donna Kemp Spangler

Nine Mile Canyon is famous the world over for its

prehistoric rock art and remnants of ancient Fremont

habitation. But it also teems with Old West history that

is salted with iconic figures of the nineteenth and early

twentieth centuries. Last Chance Byway tells the stories of

human endeavor and folly in a place historians have too long

ignored.

The history of Nine Mile Canyon is often the story

of those who came with dreams and left broke and

disillusioned, although there were exceptions. Some who

left their mark include famed outlaw hunter Joe Bush,

infamous bounty hunter Jack Watson, the larger-than-life

cattle baron Preston Nutter, and Robert Leroy Parker, better

known as Butch Cassidy.

“A first of its kind, this book clarifies aspects of the folk history

surrounding Nine Mile Canyon. The Spanglers have documented

and backed up their writing, giving it weight beyond just story,

moving the lore into the field of history.”

—H. Bert Jenson, Utah State University

“An original and valuable synthesis that brings together widely

separated threads and fills a real need for a longer treatment

not only of the area, but of many of the canyon’s fascinating

characters.”

—Roy Webb, author of Lost Canyons of the Green River: The Story before Flaming Gorge Dam

Jerry D. Spangler is an archaeologist and a recognized expert on the pre-historic peoples of eastern Utah, and is the executive director of the non-profit Colorado Plateau Archaeological Alliance, which is dedicated to preserving the past.

Putting the Supernatural in Its Place Folklore, the Hypermodern, and the Ethereal

Edited by Jeannie Banks Thomas

Just exactly where do we find the supernatural in the

contemporary world? It’s both pervasive—everywhere—

and specific—a particular somewhere. Otherworldly

traditions and stories still spread through oral narration.

They pervade mass media and the digital world and often

form the stuff of hypermodern folklore—the stew of folk,

popular, consumer, and digital culture that constitutes

much of contemporary life. People also imbue specific

places—from the local haunted house or cemetery to whole

towns or cities—with supernatural manifestations or

significance.

Putting the Supernatural in Its Place explores zombies,

vampires, witches, demented nuns, mediums, and ghosts

in their natural (and unnatural) habitats while making

sense of the current ubiquity of the supernatural on the

Internet, in movies, tourism, and in places like New Orleans.

This unique study of how we locate the supernatural sheds

light on why certain sites and their stories captivate us. It

demonstrates how pondering the supernatural can bring a

better understanding of the places we create and inhabit.

“A fine collection of articles exploring the tension between

the ethereal and the firmly local in supernatural folklore. The

scholarship is up to the minute, and the approach is engaging

enough to invite any reader fascinated by the allure of the

inexplicably spooky.”

—Erika Brady, editor-in-chief of the Journal of American Folklore

Jeannie Banks Thomas is a professor at Utah State University, where she is head of the Department of English. Her many publications include Featherless Chickens, Laughing Women, and Serious Stories, which received the Elli Köngäs-Maranda Prize, and Haunting Experiences: Ghosts in Con-temporary Folklore (2007), coauthored with Diane Goldstein and Sylvia Grider, which won the Brian McConnell Book Award in legend studies.

Bridging the DistanceCommon Issues of the Rural West

Edited by David B. Danbom Foreword by David Kennedy

As David Kennedy points out in his foreword, the West was

once seen as a beacon of opportunity, and it is still a

place where many ways of life can flourish. But it is also a

region that leaves some people isolated both culturally and

geographically. The essays collected here, the results of a

2012 conference, consider the problems and prospects of the

rural West and its residents.

The issues are considered in four sections—Defining

the Rural West, Community, Economy, and Land Use—

each with an introduction by editor David Danbom. They

highlight factors that set the region apart from the rest of

the country and provide varied perspectives on challenges

faced by those living in often remote areas, including the

shortcomings of rural health care, disagreements about the

use of natural resources, conflicts over water, and cultural

divides within communities.

Providing fresh, informative, and insightful

examinations of the complex problems facing the rural

West, these essays will spur conversations and the search

for solutions.

“These essays are pertinent, offering valuable perspectives and

insights.”

—William D. Rowley, author of Reclaiming the Arid West: The Career of Francis G. Newlands

“This book represents current thinking across a variety of disciplines

regarding the rural West. It is up to date and offers a fresh look at

current challenges facing the region.”

—Brian Q. Cannon, coeditor of Immigrants in the Far West and coauthor of The Awkward State of Utah: Coming of Age in the Nation, 1896–1945 (both University of Utah Press)

David B. Danbom is the Fargo Chamber of Commerce Distinguished Pro-fessor Emeritus at North Dakota State University, where he taught for 36 years.

The Railroad and the Pueblo IndiansThe Impact of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe on the Pueblos of the Rio Grande, 1880–1930

Richard H. Frost

Richard Frost examines the profound effects that

the coming of trains had on Pueblo Indians in New

Mexico’s Rio Grande Valley, where their arrival was a social

and cultural tsunami. It affected community autonomy,

privacy, and well-being and destroyed or damaged crops,

livestock, and irrigation ditches. The trains brought lawyers,

speculators, politicians, missionaries, anthropologists,

timber thieves, health seekers, and government servants.

While the trains also brought farm tools, clothing for

children, and customers for Pueblo pottery, these were

comparatively marginal benefits.

The pueblos responded variously, though mostly

conservatively, to sustain their communities, and this

book spotlights two very different responses. Santo

Domingo Pueblo was defensive, while Laguna Pueblo chose

accommodation. Overlooked aspects of these pueblos’

histories provide compelling reasons behind their varying

responses and the fateful consequences.

“The author’s experience with and deep understanding of Indian

history and law, combined with detailed research, create a

compelling picture of the impact of western railroad development

on the pueblos. The paired case studies of Laguna/Acoma and

Santo Domingo illuminate the range of pueblo choices.”

—Laura Bayer, coauthor of Santa Ana: The People, the Pueblo, and the History of Tamaya

“Frost consistently impresses the reader with his articulate prose

and good choices of illustrative detail. He is a seasoned historian

who knows intuitively how to engage his readership.”

—Martin Padget, author of Indian Country: Travels in the American Southwest, 1840–1935

Richard Frost is Professor Emeritus of American history and Native Amer-ican studies at Colgate University. He founded Colgate’s Native Ameri-can Studies program in Santa Fe, where he now resides. He has served as an expert historical witness for eight of the nineteen pueblos in natural-resource lawsuits.

Second Edition

A Kingdom Transformed Early Mormonism and the Modern LDS Church

Gordon Shepherd and Gary Shepherd

To survive in an often disapproving society, the LDS

Church has made adaptive changes in belief, practice,

and organization over time. Gordon and Gary Shepherd

elucidate these changes through statistical analyses of the

rhetoric found in proceedings of the church’s semiannual

General Conference. The first edition of A Kingdom

Transformed covered the years 1830 to 1979. This new edition

revises that work and adds to it by examining the subsequent

thirty years of conference talks, revealing what new trends

have emerged. Every chapter has been rewritten and updated

with theoretical and empirical support from contemporary

sources and a new conceptual framework for interpreting

findings.

Early twentieth-century LDS leaders mainstreamed

church doctrines, but by the mid-twentieth century, church

authorities began emphasizing a more conservative theology

that coincided with an increasingly conservative political

orientation. This new edition adds such current issues as the

roles of women in the church and of international growth

versus member retention.

“A valuable addition, both substantively and methodologically, to

the study of the transformations that have occurred in institutional

Mormonism across time . . . It will be an interesting read.”

—Armand L. Mauss, author of Shifting Borders and a Tattered Passport: Intellectual Journeys of a Mormon Academic

“The book is already an essential work on Mormonism in the

twentieth century; this new edition, expanding its reach into the

twenty-first century, is quite welcome.”

—Matthew Bowman, author of The Mormon People: The Making of an American Faith

Gordon Shepherd is a professor of Sociology at the University of Central Arkansas.

Gary Shepherd is Professor Emeritus of sociology at Oakland University in Michigan. The Shepherds (identical twins) have collaborated on a number of scholarly projects over many years, including six books.

A Faded LegacyAmy Brown Lyman and Mormon Women’s Activism, 1872–1959

Dave Hall

Amy Brown Lyman was a leader once admired for her

dynamic personality, her inspiring public addresses,

and for her remarkable vision of what Mormon women in

the Relief Society could achieve. Yet today her name is barely

known. This volume introduces her to a new generation,

showing how the accomplishments of Lyman and her peers

benefitted subsequent generations.

Dave Hall examines the roots and trajectory of Mormon

women’s activism. Lyman entered public life at a time when

the practice of polygamy was ending and Mormonism was

assimilating mainstream trends. The book recounts her

involvement in the Relief Society, the Mormon women’s

charity group that she led for many years and sought to

transform into a force for social welfare. Lyman’s later life,

after she resigned from the Relief Society amidst personal

tragedy, offers insight into the reasons Mormon women

abandoned an activist heritage for a more conservative role,

that is again evolving.

“The book is particularly valuable in its exploration of the tensions

between the Mormon experience and the American tendency of

requiring women to strike a balance between home and the wider

world.”

—John Sillito, coeditor of Mormon Mavericks: Essays on Dissenters

“We need this book. There has been so much talk for so long about

how scholars need to look at Mormonism in the twentieth century.

Hall gets down in the trenches and actually does this—and does

this well. It’s very strong work.”

—Susanna Morrill, author of White Rose on the Floor of Heaven: Mormon Women's Popular Theology

Dave Hall lectures in history at California State University Fullerton and Cerritos Community College. His “A Crossroads for Mormon Women: Amy Brown Lyman, J. Reuben Clark, and the Decline of Organized Women’s Activism in the Relief Society,” won the T. Edgar Lyon Award for best arti-cle in Mormon history and the Western History Association’s Arrington- Prucha Award for Best Article of the Year for Western Religious History.

Foundations of Archaeological Inquiry Series Jim Skibo, Series Editor

Tracing the RelationalThe Archaeology of Worlds, Spirits, and Temporalities

Edited by Meghan E. Buchanan and B. Jacob Skousen

T racing the Relational examines the recent emergence of

relational ontologies in archaeological interpretation and

explores how using this perspective can help archaeologists

better understand the past. Traditional representational

approaches reflect modern or Western perspectives, which

focus on the individual and see the world in terms of

dichotomies that separate culture and nature, human and

object, sacred and secular. In contrast, ancient societies

saw themselves as connected to and entangled with other

human and nonhuman entities. Contributors argue that

in order to gain deeper insight into how people in the

ancient world lived, experienced, and negotiated their lives

archaeologists must explore the myriad relationships and

entanglements between humans and other beings, places,

and things. As contributors unravel these relationships, they

demonstrate that movement is an inherent feature of these

relational webs and is the driving force behind a continually

shifting reality. Chapters focus on various regions and time

periods throughout the Americas, tracing how movements

between other-worldly dimensions, spirits and deities, and

temporalities were integral to everyday life.

“This is an excellent collection of essays that are timely, empirically

rich, well written, and that engage with current theoretical

debates within archaeology, as well as a range of other humanities

disciplines. This volume will offer a significant contribution to

archaeological research and anthropological scholarship more

broadly, aligning itself with current theoretical trends while also

pushing such scholarship in new and productive directions.”

—Darryl Wilkinson, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Meghan E. Buchanan is a research scientist for the Glenn A. Black Labo-ratory of Archaeology at Indiana University Bloomington. She received an MA from Southern Illinois University Carbondale and a PhD from Indiana University.

B. Jacob Skousen is a PhD candidate at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He specializes in Midwestern archaeology, with an empha-sis on Mississippian societies and the Cahokia site in southern Illinois. His research interests include religion, pilgrimage, movement, and relational ontologies.

Winner of the 2014 Don D. and Catherine S. Fowler Prize

Sending the Spirits HomeThe Archaeology of Hohokam Mortuary Practices

Glen E. Rice

This data-rich monograph provides new and stimulating

perspectives on the Hohokam people and their mortuary

practices. It breaks new ground by using the knowledge

of descendent peoples to generate archaeologically

testable hypotheses; demonstrating the need for mortuary

analyses conducted at a regional scale; and synthesizing

the interaction of beliefs, ideology, social organization,

and ecology in determining Hohokam mortuary practices.

Various chapters discuss body treatment, mortuary

furniture and goods, mortuary architecture, and cemeteries.

Numerous figures help document the variability of Hohokam

practices.

Sending the Spirits Home synthesizes data from various

excavations, applied archaeology, and cultural resource

management projects. This study combines archaeological

and ethnographic sources and provides tools for the

adoption of standardized protocols needed to facilitate

cross-project comparisons on which future regional

syntheses can be based.

“The coding protocols are a major contribution to the study

of Hohokam mortuary patterns, the compilation of the data is

impressive and informative, the conclusions are interesting—and

some even surprising.”

—Todd W. Bostwick, Director of Archaeology, Verde Valley Archaeology Center, Camp Verde, Arizona

“The book stands alone as the first detailed summary and analysis

of Hohokam mortuary practice. It brings together over three

decades of work and greatly advances our understanding of the

Hohokam, with useful analyses that get well beyond the old

debates.”

—Randall H. McGuire, Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, SUNY Binghamton

Glen E. Rice has more than thirty-five years of experience directing Cul-tural Resource Management research projects in the arid Southwest, the majority focused on Hohokam archaeology. He was head of the Office of Cultural Resource Management at Arizona State University and for ten years has run his own consulting firm, Rio Salado Archaeology.

Late Holocene Research on Foragers and Farmers in the Desert WestEdited by Barbara J. Roth and Maxine E. McBrinn

This book brings together the work of archaeologists

investigating prehistoric hunter-gatherers (foragers) and

early farmers in both the Southwest and the Great Basin. Most

previous work on this topic has been regionally specific, with

researchers from each area favoring a different theoretical

approach and little shared dialogue. Here the studies of

archaeologists working in both the Southwest and the Great

Basin are presented side by side to illustrate the similarities

in environmental challenges and cultural practices of the

prehistoric peoples who lived in these areas and to explore

common research questions addressed by both regions.

Three main themes link these papers: the role of the

environment in shaping prehistoric behavior, flexibility

in foraging and farming adaptations, and diversity in

settlement strategies. Contributors cover a range of topics

including the varied ways hunter-gatherers adapted to arid

environments, the transition to farming and the reasons

for it, the variation in early farming across the Southwest

and Great Basin, and the differing paths followed as they

developed settled villages.

“The authors provide an array of articles that highlight parallels in

Southwestern and Great Basin research and show how theoretical

approaches commonly used in one region may be usefully applied

to the other. The papers illustrate through example, rather than by

being prescriptive.”

Engineering Mountain LandscapesAn Anthropology of Social Investment

Edited by Laura L. Scheiber and María Nieves Zedeño

Humans have occupied mountain environments and

relied on mountain resources since the terminal

Pleistocene. Their continuous interaction with the land

from generation to generation has left material imprints

ranging from anthropogenic fires to vision quest sites. The

diverse case studies presented in this collection explore

the material record of North American mountain dwellers

and habitual users of high-elevation resources in terms of

social investment—the intergenerational commitment of a

group to a particular landscape. Contributors look creatively

at the significance of social investment and its material

and nonmaterial consequences, addressing landscape

engineering at different times using diverse, theoretical

standpoints and archaeological, historical, and ethnographic

data from varied mountain environments. Engineering

Mountain Landscapes offers substantive ideas of broad

intellectual interest, specific case studies with state-of-the-

art methodology, and a wealth of comparative data.

“This volume elucidates important archaeological and

ethnographic cases in which mountains transform, and

become transformed by, human agency. The multidisciplinary

contributions document sophisticated landscape modification

strategies that range from construction of facilities and features,

to innovative high altitude settlements, to alteration of the very

rhythms of mountain ecosystems. Only through the synthesis of

science and Native domains of knowledge could a book like this

bear witness to human resiliency, adaptation, and innovation in

mountain cultures.”

Laura L. Scheiber is an associate professor of anthropology and director of the William R. Adams Zooarchaeology Laboratory at Indiana Univer-sity, and coeditor of two books. Her research interests include hunter-gatherer identities, zooarchaeology, ethnohistory, and culture contact and colonialism.

María Nieves Zedeño is a research anthropologist and professor of anthropology at the University of Arizona, Tucson. She has authored one monograph and coedited three books. Her research focuses on contempo-rary archaeological theory and North America’s hunter-gatherer societies, past and present.

The Archaeology and Rock Art of Swordfish CaveUniversity of Utah Anthropological Paper No. 129

Clayton G. Lebow, Douglas R. Harro, and Rebecca L. McKim

With contributions by Carole Denardo, Jill Onken, Ann M. Munns, and Rick Bury

Swordfish Cave is a well-known rock art site located on

Vandenberg Air Force Base in south-central California.

Named for the swordfish painted on its wall, the cave is a

sacred Chumash site. When it was under threat and required

measures to conserve it, nearly all of the cave’s interior

was excavated to create a rock art viewing area. That effort

revealed previously unknown rock art and made it possible

to closely examine how early occupants used the space

inside the cave. Archaeologists identified three periods of

human use, including an initial occupation around 3,550

years ago, an occupation about 660 years later, and a final

Native American occupation that occurred much later,

between A.D. 1787 and 1804.

Well illustrated with photographs, maps, and drawings

of the rock art, the excavations, and the artifacts revealed

therein, the book presents a rare opportunity to directly

link archaeology and rock art and to examine the spatial

organization of prehistoric human habitation.

“Well written and meticulous, the book will be of interest to broad

audiences for its unusual combination of protection, conservation,

and mitigation efforts focused simultaneously on both cave art and

cave deposits. A tremendously important contribution.”

—Terry L. Jones, professor of Anthropology, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo

Clay Lebow, Doug Harro, and Rebecca McKim are all registered profes-sional archaeologists and employee-owners of Applied EarthWorks, Inc. They spent eighteen years working on numerous studies for Vandenberg Air Force Base, with Lebow serving as principal investigator, Harro as lithic analyst, and McKim as faunal analyst.

War and CollapseWorld War I and the Ottoman State

Edited by M. Hakan Yavuz with Feroz Ahmad

W ar and Collapse is the third volume in a series that

covers the last years of the Ottoman Empire. It stems

from a three-day international conference at which scholars

examined the causes and consequences of World War I,

with a focus on how these events pertained to the Ottoman

state and society. Fifty-three scholars—both new and

established—contributed to this collection, explaining what

happened within the Ottoman Empire before and during WWI

and how ethnic and national groups constructed these events

to enhance their identities and promote their interests.

The chapters provide insight into the mindsets of Ottoman

peoples, showing how earlier events and circumstances set

in motion Ottoman responses to the war and how continued

conflict had devastating, irreversible effects on Ottoman

society. What emerges is a comprehensive picture of the

events, encompassing a wide variety of perspectives.

“In a field of growing interest, this volume will be useful for

those wishing to learn more. It is by far the most compendious

assemblage of relevant material.”

—Norman Stone, author of The Eastern Front 1914–1917

“This collection of new and old approaches reveals that there is

still much to be said about World War I that requires an Ottoman

angle. The field is richer because of this valuable addition to the

scholarship.”

—Isa Blumi, author of Reinstating the Ottoman Empire

M. Hakan Yavuz is a professor of political science at the University of Utah. He is the coeditor of War and Diplomacy: The Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878 and the Treaty of Berlin and of War and Nationalism: The Balkan Wars, 1912–1913, and Their Sociopolitical Implications.

Feroz Ahmad is chair of the Department of International Relations and Political Science at Yeditepe University in Istanbul. He is the author of several books, including The Young Turks and the Ottoman Nationalities: Armenians, Greeks, Albanians, Jews, and Arabs, 1908–1918.

Grave GoodsEssays of a Peculiar Nature

John P. O’Grady

Just because this is a collection of essays about psychics,

murderers, strange disappearances, and occult

phenomena doesn’t mean it isn’t funny. With wit, wry

curiosity, and redemptive irony, John P. O’Grady peels back

the surface of the seemingly normal to reveal the dubious,

the inexplicable, and the outlandish.

Grave Goods includes ghost stories, macabre modern

legends, and metaphysical investigations, all informed by

the natural sciences, history, philosophy, literature, and

mythology. From laugh-out-loud funny to eerily thoughtful,

these essays reveal the natural world as a place of unnatural

surprises and strange beauty, a place where Rip Van Winkle,

O’Grady’s college buddies, and ragtag psychics rub shoulders

with Buddha, Socrates, and Stephen King—and it all makes

perfect sense.

“Reading this book is like walking through the world with a highly

knowledgable naturalist-poet-philosopher. I don’t know your

taste in journeys, but this book is mine.”

—Peter Coyote, poet and actor

“Grave Goods is a fi rst-rate collection, revealing not only the

surprising connections between ordinary things, but their

metaphysical and philosophical implications as well. His stories,

though rooted in everyday reality, stretch our imaginations toward

the fantastic and the supernatural.”

—John Algeo, editor of The Quest

John P. "Sean" O’Grady has taught American literature and environmen-tal writing at the University of Alaska Anchorage and at Allegheny College in Pennsylvania. He currently lives and writes in the Catskill Mountains of New York. He is a coeditor of Literature and the Environment: A Reader on Nature and Culture and the author of Pilgrims to the Wild (University of Utah Press, 1993).

Wild Horses of the West

Narrated by Ali MacGraw

Wild horses are romantic symbols of the Old West, an

era that is fading from memory. From being one of

the most recognizable icons of the western landscape to

playing essential roles in therapy programs, two thing are

clear: the role of wild horses in America is multifaceted, and

they need to be protected. But there are ecological issues

that surround the wild mustang and, like the animal, they’re

complex.

Wild horses are part of the American story and a

staple of our history, having helped Native Americans hunt

buff alo and cowboys herd cattle. However, wild horses have

encountered adversity when confronted with modernity,

since they compete with livestock for range resources,

including watering holes and grazing. Former Secretary of

the Interior Ken Salazar has noted that, while beautiful, wild

horses pose signifi cant problems for public lands.

When the horse population is determined to be too high,

the Bureau of Land Management is tasked with removing

surplus horses, a process that often runs into logistical snags.

When helicopters are used to round up the herds, wild horse

advocates see it as inhumane.

Once rounded up, there are additional problems of

what should be done with the animals, especially when the

horse population outpaces adoption demand. The discussion

includes detainment in taxpayer-funded holding facilities,

sterilization, even euthanasia. With passionate, vocal voices

on all sides, these complex issues require multipronged

solutions.

The fi lm visits various therapy programs, including

the one off ered by the National Ability Center in Park City,

which has found that veterans and others benefi t from

friendships with horses. Mustangs are also used in prison

and young adult rehabilitation programs, and can teach

valuable lessons in bonding and patience.

Wild Horses of the West is the latest production by KUED’s

John Howe, and is narrated by Ali MacGraw of Love Story and

The Getaway fame.

ist Where Roads

Will Never ReachWilderness and Its Visionaries in the Northern Rockies

Frederick H. Swanson

The Rocky Mountains of Idaho

and Montana are home to some

of the most important remaining

American wilderness areas,

preserved because of citizens

who stood against massive

development schemes that would

have diminished both important

wildlife habitat and the abiding

sense of remoteness found in

such places. Where Roads Will

Never Reach tells the stories of

hunters, anglers, outfitters,

scientists, and other concerned

citizens who devoted themselves

to protecting remnant wild lands

and ecosystems in the Northern

Rockies. Environmental historian

Frederick Swanson argues that

their heartfelt, dedicated work

helped boost the American

wilderness movement to its

current prominence.

against both social convention

and technological boundaries,

L.L. Nunn left enduring marks on

economic and social history, labor

development, and educational

reform. The Electric Edge of

Academe is a bold portrayal of this

progressive-era hydroelectric

power magnate who, driven by

a dynamic conscience, became

a force for social change and

educational experimentation. In

1917, Nunn founded Deep Springs

College in eastern California. The

school remains one of the most

daring, progressive, and selective

institutions of higher learning

in America. Newell examines

how Nunn’s radical educational

ideas have survived internal and

external challenges for nearly a

century.

An 1860 English-Hopi Vocabulary Written in the Deseret AlphabetKenneth R. Beesley and Dirk Elzinga

In 1859 Brigham Young sent two

Mormon missionaries to live

among the Hopi and instructed

the men to teach the Hopi the

Deseret Alphabet. While the

alphabet faded out of use in just

over twenty years, the manuscript

penned by one of the missionaries

has remained in existence. For

decades it sat unidentified in the

archives of the Church of Jesus

Christ of Latter-day Saints—a

mystery document having no

title, author, or date. But authors

Beesley and Elzinga have now

traced the manuscript’s origin

to those missionaries of 1859

and decoded its Hopi-English

vocabulary written in the short-

lived Deseret Alphabet. The

resulting book offers a fascinating

mix of linguistics, Mormon

history, and Native American

studies.
