SIGNED. 177pp. Quarto 28.5 cm Glossy illustrated boards with only minor wear to the covers and spine ends. Signed by the author on the title page. "The material for this book is intended to serve the reader as an introductory guide not as a reference text book. It is a collection of photographs and information I gathered while making a journey of discovery of Ute Prayer Trees. It begins with a background on how I became interested in the subject. Then it lays a general foundation for Culturally Modified Trees CMT and Ute Prayer Trees UPT. Next it covers a historic overview of the Ute people and their early contact with Europeans in the Pikes Peak Region. It offers readers an opportunity to discover UPTs on their own in the Pikes Peak Region and to gain a clearer understanding of 'Why this matters' as Dr. Jefferson Southern Ute Tribal Elder Dr. James Jefferson often explains." - The Author.

1949rif. 45468Salt Lake City Utah: Utah State Historical Society 1949. First edition thus. Hardcover. 270; 540 1 pp. Octavo 23 cm Pebbled burgundy cloth over boards with gilt lettering on the spines and front covers. Very good condition. The front pastedowns have a previous owner's bookplate. From the introduction- "More than three-quarters of a century has passed since Major John Wesley Powell's parties began their exploration of the Colorado River country yet the records of the Powell exploration have a freshness an immediately contemporary interest that few records in the annals of American exploration still possess. Roads even superhighways have been built into the most parched of the West's deserts and over or through its most formidable mountain barriers but one who would know the Colorado country must still penetrate it as Powell and his men did in 1869 and 1871-72 by taking to boats or resorting to pack trains.
