Book Synopsis San Juan Country by : Thomas Melvin Griffiths
Download or read book San Juan Country written by Thomas Melvin Griffiths and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the West a region is often called a country: Navajo country. Big Bend country. Mormon country. Four Corners country. Powder River country. Hopi country. Perhaps a surfeit of space led the westering pioneers to be profligate with the names they bestowed on the land: a modest region of the West was often larger than a whole European country so it deserved the name. A "country" in the western American sense usually took its name from its distinguishing feature -- physical, historical, social, institutional. In this way, the San Juan country of southwestern Colorado came by its name. San Juan Country covers about 20,000 square miles. At its heart lies the mountain mass which gives the region its name. The mountains themselves embrace about 12,000 square miles, with an additional 8,000 square miles of plateau and river valleys adjacent to the mountains. All except the small southeastern tip of San Juan country lies in southwestern Colorado. The San Juans are part of the Rocky Mountain system--the great mountain barrier which dominates the western third of the North American continent, separating the waters which flow to the Atlantic from those which drain to the Pacific. Geologically unique, with a fascinating history and a stunning beauty equalled by few other regions of the world and surpassed by none, the San Juans are one of the state's top ten tourist attractions in a recent survey, five were in or on the edge of San Juan country. Divided into two parts, "The Land" and "The Human Interface," San Juan Country explores the entire spectrum of the captivating San Juan story from its geologic birth and development, through the earliest inhabitants, the Spanish influence and the Ute problem. Other chapters deal with the mining story; the area's wildlife and climate; the destructive power of an avalanche; water, agriculture, and the current role of recreational entrepreneurship in the overall scheme of things. Beautifully written and profusely illustrated, the book captures all the spirit and mystique that is the essence of San Juan country.

Book Synopsis Early San Juan County by : LaVerne Tate
Download or read book Early San Juan County written by LaVerne Tate and published by Arcadia Library Editions. This book was released on 2008-09 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: San Juan County was established in 1880 following the famous winter trek and steep descent through the Hole-in-the-Rock Trail to Bluff, Utah. Behind the settlement of this community by the San Juan River is a story of tenacity, determination, and hardship. The Hole-in-the-Rock was a sandstone crevice discovered fortuitously by pioneers when a wild ram escaped its pursuers and descended to the river by that route. After blasting, building up the grade, and lowering by ropes, the wagon train finally emerged through the crevice to the river below and finished the last difficult miles into Bluff. Miner and photographer Charles Goodman documented the early days of San Juan County, from the production of bricks and molasses to the establishment of Bluff Oil Company, and many of his unique images, dating from 1892 to 1913, are included in this volume.

Navajo Tribal cops Jim Chee and Bernadette Manuelito, and their mentor, the legendary Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, investigate two perplexing cases in this exciting Southwestern mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of Spider Woman’s Daughter. Doing a good deed for a relative offers the perfect opportunity for Sergeant Jim Chee and his wife, Officer Bernie Manuelito, to get away from the daily grind of police work. But two cases will call them back from their short vacation and separate them—one near Shiprock, and the other at iconic Monument Valley. Chee follows a series of seemingly random and cryptic clues that lead to a missing woman, a coldblooded suspect, and a mysterious mound of dirt and rocks that could be a gravesite. Bernie has her hands full managing the fallout from a drug bust gone wrong, uncovering the origins of a fire in the middle of nowhere, and looking into an ambitious solar energy development with long-ranging consequences for Navajo land. Under the guidance of their mentor, retired Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, Bernie and Chee will navigate unexpected obstacles and confront the greatest challenge yet to their skills, commitment, and courage.
