Encounters In the American Mountain West: A Sinner Amongst the Latter-Day Saints

Over the past 14 years Boardman-Tasker award-winner Ian R Mitchell has been a frequent visitor to the wilds of Utah and the surrounding mountain states. His motive has been not only to learn about the area, but also to get to know the people who live there, and the wilderness that many know little about. This book includes his visits to the grounds of the ancient Anazasi civilization, mountains such as Timpanagos and Tukhunikivats, the mining country of Carbon County and the various sites associated with the Mormon pioneers who settled Utah 150 years ago. These reveal that the land of the Latter-Day Saints has much to reward those who are curious enough to venture there.
