"In this study the physical environment of part of the Great Salt Lake Desert is first considered; its climate, its geography, and flora and fauna. Then follows a description of the life of the deserts native inhabitants, the Gosiutes. The traditional area of wandering of this hunting and gathering people in Utah coincided most closely with the term 'Central West Deseret' as used in this study." [Author]
