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the canyon's story via historical and scientific summaries, biographical sketches, personal memoir, and previously unpublished photos of the land and its explorers.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.

"Focusing on the saddening, maddening example of Glen Canyon, Jared Farmer traces the history of exploration and development in the Four Corners region, discusses the role of tourism in changing the face of the West, and shows how the "invention" of Lake Powell has served multiple needs. He also seeks to identify the point at which change becomes loss: How do people deal with losing places they love? How are we to remember or restore lost places?"--BOOK JACKET.

Stretching for 170 miles across northern Arizona and southern Utah, Lake Powell is both a vacationer's paradise and the second-largest reservoir in the Western Hemisphere. Yet few visitors to the lake today are aware of the lost world that lies beneath its crystal waters. Once an enchanted landscape of sandstone cliffs and secret crevices, Glen Canyon has been but a memory since the damming of the Colorado River near Page, Arizona, in 1963. Often called "the place no one knew," Glen Canyon was in fact explored by thousands of visitors—including dozens of writers—before the dam's completion. River runner Mathew Gross has combed the literature of Glen Canyon to assemble this wide-ranging look at the history of this now-submerged natural treasure, the first book to bring together these voices of remembrance. Beginning with the first known written report of Glen Canyon in an eighteenth-century missionary journal, Gross has selected accounts of the canyon from both before and after the dam. Included are some of the West's best-known writers—Zane Grey and Katie Lee, Edward Abbey and Ellen Meloy—as well as Pulitzer Prize winners John McPhee and Wallace Stegner. Other authors range from David Brower, director of the Sierra Club when the dam was built, to Floyd Dominy, the federal bureaucrat responsible for the dam. The Glen Canyon Reader is a book that may be read straight through as entertaining and informative history. But as Gross suggests, "Perhaps more pleasurable is to flip through these pages, to poke around and explore, as one would have done in Glen Canyon . . . to visit and revisit the places contained in this book, these cool glens and embracing alcoves and hidden grottos, these canyons and dreams and ghosts that will always, always be with us."

"When Glen Canyon was inundated, several years had already been dedicated to salvaging prehistoric Indian sites. But how could anyone salvage some of the music of one of the world's great symphonies of natural architecture? No one seemed to know quite how. Porter tried - and convinced us all over again that something happens to a place when his eye falls upon it that never happened before. In this color alchemy of his an unspoiled Glen Canyon somehow relives. Incredibly enough, the 72 color plates in this book do not overlap what Porter has done in his earlier book, IN WILDNESS IS THE PRESERVATION OF THE WORLD, but continue its discovery, truly great testimony to his brilliance as a colorist. The text consists of an introduction by Porter and selections from many eminent writers about the canyon itself, about the strangely magnificent land it lies in, and about the meaning of wildness. Born of a frustrating twelve-year struggle to save Rainbow Bridge National Monument, the book can serve a lasting purpose if it helps stave off the threats of dams on America's last great reaches of wilderness river. Had Eliot Porter's work appeared earlier, there would probably be no Glen Canyon Dam. The public would not likely have relinquished what this dam needlessly and irretrievably destroys if the public had known what it was losing. The least we can do is remember, with purpose, these things lost. The book helps us, most poignantly." -- David Brower.
