520 _a"A History of Southern Utah and Its National Parks (Revised)" by Angus M. Woodbury is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. The book explores the cultural and natural history of Southern Utah, focusing particularly on the development and significance of its national parks, including Zion National Park. It covers themes of indigenous heritage, early explorations, settlement patterns, and the interplay between the native populations and Mormon pioneers. At the start of the book, the author introduces the geographical and cultural landscape of Zion Canyon, detailing its geological formation and the ancient peoples who once inhabited it. The opening chapters delve into the Indian heritage of the region, particularly insights into the Paiute tribe, their customs, avoidance of Zion Canyon, and the spiritual beings they believed inhabited the land. Woodbury combines historical observations with personal anecdotes, weaving together the early interactions between Native Americans and white explorers, setting the stage for the subsequent Mormon settlement and transformation of the area.
