Emigration Canyon is well known in Utah as the route by which
pioneers, in 1847, reached Great Salt Lake Valley to establish the
state's first lasting Euro-American settlements. Before and after
1847 the canyon had an interesting history, which included the
Donner-Reed party, the Pony Express and Overland Stage, mining and
sheep herding, a narrow-gauge railroad, a major resort, a brewery,
and the transformation of recreation areas and cabin sites into
year-round residential neighborhoods. This well-illustrated,
detailed history tells the story of a unique place, but its
counterparts can be found across the West and America wherever the
development of wild and scenic areas has been shaped by the growth
and needs of neighboring cities. In this second edition, new
illustrations and maps, new information and stories, a
significantly expanded chapter on the Emigration Canyon Railroad,
and a new chapter on the modern history, bring to life the story of
a place and its people.
