"Rattlesnakes and Axe-heads" is a retelling of a region's past in a unique way, one which gives voice to thousands of lives long silent. Drawing heavily from primary and other period sources, the volume is rich in detail about the people and events which shaped Sanpete into an extraordinary place. The work surveys many centuries leading up to the arrival of the first company of white settlers in 1849, and then focuses on the three crucial decades which follow. The book explores a time when Sanpete's jurisdictional boundaries officially extended east into what is present-day Colorado and south encompassing what is now Sevier, Piute and Wayne counties.
