Sobre este artículo
Provo, UT: Provo City Corporation, 2003. First Edition. 263pp. Octavo [22.5 cm] Red illustrated wrappers. Fine. Inscribed by the author to David Bigler on the half-title: "David, I hope you enjoy the trip down this trail leading to Provo's origins. D. Robert Carter." Illustrated with black and white views throughout.
"This meticulously researched history, written with a storyteller's flare, chronicles the settlement's first troubled year as the newcomers played host to traveling bands of Utes, U.S. government surveyors, forty-niners on their way to the gold fields in California, and visiting church officials from Salt Lake City. While entertaining these visitors, the homebuilders found time to exploit the area's natural resources, wrest a living from the virgin soil, harvest the amazingly abundant trout and sucker from the beautiful Timpanogos (Provo) River, and ascend to dominance over the valley.
