Edward A. Geary

4.9/5 (27276 ratings)

Description:Emery County, situated at the boundary of the Colorado Plateau and the High Plateaus region, has a dramatically varied landscape of forest and lush mountain meadows, colorful buttes, reefs, and gorges, wide desert plains, and the canyons of the Green River. The county's history is as colorful as is its scenery and as intricate as the prehistoric rock art that decorates its desert walls.Although the area was an important transportation corridor as early as 1830, with the Old Spanish Trail from Santa Fe to Los Angeles reaching tis northernmost point in what is now Emery County, the mountain barrier and rugged terrain delayed settlement until the late 1870s. The county's settlement history reflects a creative compromise between nineteenth-century Mormon ideal of the compact farm village and the more scattered individualistic type of land occupation that was encouraged by the national homestead laws. Creative accommodation has continued to characterize the area through its late twentieth-century transformation from a farming and ranching economy to a rural-industrial way of life.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
