"This survey of the history of the Spanish speaking people will show [the history of Utah] from another point of view. You will learn that Spanish explorers, missionaries, and settlers established towns, villages, and governments in the Southwest long before the English came. They ranched, farmed and traded goods. They built trade routes, explored large regions of Colorado and Utah, and gave Spanish names to many geographic locations. Indians had been farming the Southwest for more than a thousand years before the Spanish came. Many of the Spanish speaking people married Native Americans, and a rich blending of the two cultures resulted." [Author]
