Utah's rural communities form its heartland. Photographs are used to tell about the people who stayed to give the land their character. There is a kind of poetry written in the portraits and landscapes--an epic of heroism, endurance, and toil but also of gentility, enterprise, and pleasure. The tale is not unique to Utah, but, nevertheless, it is Utah's own. Four regions are used for the essay: The Sanpete-Sevier valleys, the Bear River region, Carbon County, and Utah's Dixie.
