Niwot, Colorado: University Press of Colorado, 1990. 578 Pages Indexed. Five inked-lines inscription by Baker Morrow writer of the Foreword on the half-title page. Reprinted from the original 1862 American edition by Harper & Brothers Publishers, New York. Tight square book with no defects noted. Interior text pages are near flawless. Sir Richard Burton was among the most notable romantic figures of the nineteenth century. On a par with such classic European observers of North America as Alexis de Tocqueville, Charles Dickens, and Bernal Diaz del Castillo, Burton was the great explorer and linguist of the English-speaking world when he journeyed to Salt Lake City in 1860. In The City of the Saints, originally published in 1862, Burton provides the clearest, most factual account of the American West on the eve of the Civil War. His keen eye for detail appears immediately as the modern traveler follows his trail across the prairies and realizes that Burton's descriptions are still amazingly accurate. This book is filled with Burton's astute observations including the customs of the West's nomadic tribes, the natural history of the plains and the Rockies, and above all, the extraordinary new Mormon capital. It is the most even-handed, thorough study of the remarkable Mormon pioneers and contains interviews with Brigham Young and several Mormon apostles. This edition also contains a new introduction, photographs, and a bibliography by Burton expert, Baker H. Morrow. This book will appeal to readers interested in Western history, the rise of the Mormons in American culture, a pioneer city planning in the Rocky Mountains. Baker H. Morrow is a landscape architect in Albuquerque and a teacher of landscape architecture at the University of New Mexico. A long-time student of Burton's books and travels, Morrow served in the Peace Corps in Somalia, where he traced Burton's early explorations of East Africa. . Inscribed By the Illustrator. 1990 Reprint. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. Illus. by Geishecker, Kristin Cover. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2".
