The author gives an account of a small number of twentieth-century pioneers (largely Mormon) who moved their homes in northern Utah to the desert lands of northeastern Nevada. This is an intimate portrait that studies the backgrounds, motives and relationships of western settlers who attempted to develop marginal lands in the American West. Bowen adds understanding to a neglected era of western history in which Mormons played a part.
