This book examines five Utah historians: Wallace Stegner, Juanita Brooks, Fawn Brodie, Bernard DeVoto, and Dale Morgan.
The author explains, "My study begins with a chapter examining a sense of the state of historical writing, both in general American history and more specifically in Utah history, in about 1940, at about the time most of the subjects were beginning to write. My purpose is to describe the context out of which they came and against which they reacted. Subsequently, there is a chapter on each writer that establishes his or her basic background and intellectual orientation, but which comprehensively examines that writer's major historical works. The most original contributions of this book, however, are the brief critical essays on each historian that follow the comprehensive chapter. These essays examine a specific interpretative problem in that writer's work, generally narrowed to a specific theme or a single book." [Introduction] -
