Book Synopsis
In 1875, a team of cartographers, geologists, and scientists entered the Four Corners area for what they thought would be a calm summer's work completing a previous survey. By skilfully weaving the surveyors' diary entries, field notes, and correspondence with newspaper accounts, this book brings the survey to life.

Trade Review
A book like this from such seasoned and highly respected scholars as Robert McPherson and Susan Rhoades Neel is cause for rejoicing. It is timely in demonstrating that the headlong rush to development is not just a fact of contemporary life, but a fact of history as well. More than entertainment, this is a work of high literary art and scholarship, exactly the kind of gritty and dramatic western history sought by all types of readers, including backpackers, river runners, and tourists."" - Gary Topping, Archivist of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salt Lake City and author of Utah Historians and the Reconstruction of Western History
