The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and its Legacy on the Colorado Plateau
by Wayne K. Hinton and Elizabeth Green

At the height of the Great Depression, two of America's richest resources—its young men and its public lands—were in peril. As unemployed young me despaired at their prospects for earning a living for themselves and their families, choking dust storms stripped away farmland and fire ravaged the nation's forests. Only days after taking office in 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt launched a new program to help save both treasures.

Within months, the Civilian Conservation Corps had put three-quarters of a million young men to work restoring forests and farmland, building infrastructure, and fighting fires in America's national public lands. Many workers were sent far from home, including thousands who came west to the Colorado Plateau. In this high, dry, and lonesome setting, they encountered natural beauty unlike anything they had ever seen, as ell as challenges they could not have imagined. With Picks, Shovels & Hope tells their story.

Heart of the Desert Wild - Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument Heart of the Desert Wild - Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument

by Greer K. Chesher (Author), Liz Hymans (Photographer)

Heart of the Desert Wild combines naturalist writer Greer K. Chesher's thought provoking prose with photographer Liz Hymans' spectacular panoramic images to evoke the wonder of Grand Staircase-Escalante. Beginning with the land's rocky past and combing through the woven layers of place - native grasses and bighorn sheep, the sound of moving waters and the people drawn to them, strange soils and rare plants - the book provides an intergrated geography of what anthropollogist Clyde Kluckhohn once called the "last Holy Place."
