For thousands of centuries Glen Canyon offered a sanctuary to the people who lived in this section of southern Utah. When they abandoned the region, they left behind rock paintings, carvings, and other remains. The author gives a complete history of the region and the people who came there. He also describes early exploration of the region by the Spaniards and the Mormons, as well as by the Powell, Hayden, and Wheeler Surveys. Fine in dust jacket.
