New Book on Desolation & traveling slideshow

[Moab Enthalpy]

June 2009 USU Press and your friends James M. Aton and Dan Miller would like to invite you to a presentation for their new book, The River Knows Everything: Desolation Canyon and the Green.

The book has just arrived in our Chicago warehouse and is available from our Web site at: USUPress.org
With this new release Jim and Dan will present a short slide show and talk about the history of the canyon and all the people who have lived along the river-Fremont and Ute Indians, ranchers, sheep herders, ferrymen, and moonshiners. Their presentation will show photographs, both historic images and Dan's original photography.
