Product Description
Home has many dimensions - how do you take care of it, and how does it take care of you - how do you make a home in an inhospitable place - where do you unexpectedly find home in the home of strangers? The Colorado Plateau is a Homeland like no other.
"Forests of Home: The Four Elements" by Peter Friederici
Earth, air, fire, water. The recipe for a forest. Attitudes toward ponderosa forests have evolved. Hard choices may be all that will restore them to natural health.
"Room for One More Traveler" by Terree Duncan and Harvey Leake
In the wilds of the Navajo Reservation, early 20th century wayfarers found an unexpected "Camelot" at the hearth of John & Louisa Wetherill. They returned the favor in the form of delightful guest book entries.
"A Home of One's own" test and photos by Michael Collier
How do you live in a changing landscape? A wilderness that before your eyes becomes more populous, less delicate, less wild, less the land you knew?
"Bringing the Sacred Sheep Home" by Ben Jacques
Centuries ago, Diné plucked tufts of wild sheep wool from prickly stems, but wild sheep would not be domesticated. So they asked the Holy People for sheep that would live with them... and Churro sheep arrived with the Spaniards.
"For the Love of Home" by Lee kreutzer
Pioneering in the vicinity of what is now Capitol Reef National Park was a tough business. But the land yielded, and the early Mormons yielded too, and between them they reached a settlement that in time achieved the comfortable and familiar form of home.

Kayenta and the Wetherills' guest books March 28, 2010
Kathleen B. RAFFOUL (houston, tx USA)
Excellent article by Harvey Leake and Terree Duncan about the Kayenta home of John and Louisa Wetherill. Their home was a favored refuge in the area for travelers in the early part of the 20th century. Many famous guests left memorable entrys into their guest book.
