In his new book, "The Glen Canyon Country," archaeologist Don D.
Fowler shares the history of a place and the peoples who sojourned
there over the course of several thousand years. To tell this
story, he weaves his personal experience as a student working on
the Glen Canyon Salvage Project with accounts of early explorers,
geologists, miners, railroad developers, settlers, river runners,
and others who entered this magical place. The book details the
canyon's story via historical and scientific summaries,
biographical sketches, personal memoir, and previously unpublished
photos of the land and its explorers. Readers will experience the
intrigue and beauty of the Canyon while following not only the
story of an individual but also of Glen Canyon itself. Infused with
the breadth and depth of a lifetime of archaeological experience,
"The Glen Canyon Country" is the definitive account of the
prehistory and history of a significant river corridor and the
surrounding land.
