"This volume . . . gives briefly the historical background of that portion of the Southwest Desert adjacent to Zion National Park, known today as Utah's Dixie. . . . The struggle to establish this cotton colony was without doubt the most difficult colonizing project ever undertaken by Brigham Young, and one of the most difficult ever undertaken within the United States. In addition to the usual hardships and privations of pioneer life, the cotton-settlers were confronted with problems inherent within the very desert that surrounded them. These problems included the flash floods of the desert, the devitalizing desert heat, and the quick-sand of the Virgin River." [Author]
