ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Much of the material used in this study was gathered while the writerwas engaged by the National Park Service in Zion Canyon, and he himselfparticipated in many of the events described in the latter pages. The foundationfor understanding the historical background, however, was laid duringhis early life in St. George and the surrounding region. Expressions andopinions have been interpreted largely through that experience.

The writer was acquainted with many of the early Dixie settlers, and notesof interviews with some of these have furnished details otherwise unobtainable.Personal letters also have filled in many gaps.

Additional source material has been obtained from the Office of the AdjutantGeneral of Utah, the Salt Lake Public Library, the libraries of the Universityof Utah and Dixie Junior College, newspaper files, published books,unpublished manuscripts, original journals or extracts, records of the NationalPark Service, the United States Land Office and in the L.D.S. Church Historian’sOffice, Salt Lake City, the “Journal History,” (a collection of extractsfrom journals and newspapers arranged chronologically) proved to be a fruitfulsource of information. This was supplemented by access to additional reports,publications and records of the St. George L.D.S. Temple, compiled byJames G. Bleak.

The writer is grateful to many for their encouragement, advice, information,pictures, reading and criticism of the manuscript. He is particularly indebtedto Dr. H. E. Gregory, Horace M. Albright, Randa
