A History of Washington County (9780915630455)
From Isolation to Destination
by Douglas D. Alder and Karl F. Brooks
This book traces the history of the county from
ancient times of the Anasazi Indians to the coming of
Mormon settlers in the 1850s. It includes the founding
of St, George in 1861, chronicling the determination of
the early settlers as they fought the heat and drought.
The subsequent century-long isolation of the area is
examined as well as the more recent boon times in
which Utah's Dixie has been radically transformed as
a destination recreation spot and residence for
ever-increasing numbers of retirees and others.
