"Here in Utah's coal fields, then, on what was once Indian land, there came together pioneer hardiness, American individualism, immigrant brawn, and bountiful resources to form an amalgamation, a vital example of how America became a great nation. Much of the great expanse of primeval forests that became coal, the energy of ancient suns locked within, still lies under this rocky, arid land, beautiful to the people who know it. But what Miera saw, the 'many varieties of savory fish, very large white geese, many kinds of ducks, and other exquisite birds never seen elsewhere,' have long since disappeared. The game, at least, nourished the pioneers. Now that the coal country is coming to life again, its increased industrialization requires intense concern to keep this stark terrain that has sustained a unique blend of cultures clean for future generations."
