Gunnison Island From: Utah Place Names Gunnison Island from: Utah Place Names GUNNISON ISLAND (Box Elder County) is a small island one-half mile wide and one mile long (in high water), near the northwest shore of Great Salt Lake and south of Cub Island. As the water lowers, the island becomes a part of the west mainland. Gunnison Island is uninhabited, except by its famous bird population. In earlier times it was known for its guano deposits. In 1895 Alfred Lambourne lived on the island for fourteen months and wrote a book about it. The island was named for Lieutenant John W. Gunnison, second in charge to Captain Howard Stansbury, who named the island for Gunnison in his 1849 survey of the lake. Gunnison was later killed by the Indians.

GUNNISON* (Sanpete County) was established on US-89 and U-28 in 1859. Judge George Peacock of Manti* assigned the name to the community, honoring Captain John W. Gunnison of the U.S. railroad survey team working in that area. In August 1853 Gunnison and several of his men were murdered in western Utah by Pavant Indians. Gunnison also had an earlier name of Hog Wallow*. >S16,17,T19S,R1E,SLM; 5,100' (1,554m). Bibliography: Bancroft, Hubert Howe. History of Utah, 1540-1886. Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, 1964.

GUNNISON CROSSING (Grand County) is located at the Green River and Green River City* and was first known as the Ute Crossing. William Wolfskill and George Young have been credited with being the first white men to use the crossing, after they passed through during the winter of 1830-31. It became known as the Gunnison Crossing after Captain Gunnison and his party crossed the river here in 1853. Several days later, Gunnison and most of his men were murdered by Indians in the desert north of Sevier Lake. The crossing was a principal one on the Old Spanish Trail. The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad bridged the river here in 1883. See Green River* below. GREEN RIVER* (Emery) is on I-70 and the Green River. The town receives its name from the river and should not be confused with Green River*, Wyoming. The earlier recorded name for Green River, Utah, was Blake* for a J. P. Blake who settled on the east bank of the river. Today's town extends to both sides of the river. This is an important, historic, river crossing. The early Indians used it for centuries and it became known as the Ute Crossing. In 1830-31 William Wolfskill and George Young crossed the river at this point and were given credit for being the first white men to do so. The Old Spanish Trail also crossed the river. Captain Gunnison and his men forded the river here, giving the crossing his name after he and some of his men were massacred by Indians a few days later. In 1883 the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad bridged the river in this area. For further history see also Green River below. >S8,9,T21S,R16E,SLM; 4,079' (1,243). Bibliography: Bancroft, Hubert Howe.

It originates in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming and drains south to join the Colorado River in southwestern Utah at The Page 1 Confluence. The river has had numerous names given by the early Indians, the Spanish Padres, and various mountain men, explorers, and military personnel. It has been referred to as the Seedskeedee-Agee (Prairie Hen), the Buenaventura (Good Fortune), the Leichader, the Rio Verde (Green River), the Spanish River, and the Rio de Los Ciboles (Bison River). Despite these and other colorful names, the river ended up with the somewhat mundane name of Green River. This has posed several questions. Some say "The Green" refers to color of the water and others claim it is the vegetation along the river bank. Another report states that Ashley named the river for one of his friends living in St. Louis. Other reports say that a mysterious Mr. Green was an early trapper along the river. It has had a tumultuous history but today it is a river recognized for its electric power, recreation, and natural beauty. Backpackers, boaters, river rafters, and fishermen use the river and the surrounding area for adventure and recreation. There is still a strong sense of the unknown along stretches of The Green.

An asterisk (*) following a place name indicates past or present inhabitation. 2. When a series of letters and numbers are present towards the end of an entry after the ">" symbol, the first group indicates section/township/range as closely as can be pinpointed (i.e., S12,T3S,R4W,SLM, or USM). A section equals approximately one square mile, reflecting U.S. Geological Survey topographic map sections. Because Utah is not completely mapped, some entries are incomplete. In this case, whatever information is available will be provided. The second group, when present, is altitude in feet followed by meters in parentheses [i.e., 6,000' (1,829m)]. Altitude is not included with canyons or deserts with varying altitudes. _____________________________________________________________________ SOURCE... Utah Place Names.

  • Utah History Encyclopedia
    UTAH LITERATURE Utah literature may be said to begin with the travel journal of Francisco Atanasio Dominguez and Silvestre Velez de Escalante which, in 1776, provided the first written descriptions of Utah′s geography and people. For the next seventy-odd years, Utah′s literature consisted of the accounts of trappers, traders, and explorers, most notably John C. Frémont′s Report of the Exploring Expedition to the Rocky Mountains, conducted in 1843 and published in 1845. (John Wesley′s Powell′s notable Report on the Lands of the Arid Regions was published in 1878.) Formal literature, however, may best be dated from the arrival of the Mormons in 1847, and the arrival of a printing press for the Deseret News in 1850 For almost a century thereafter, Utah′s literature could be divided into "insider" writings by the often beleaguered Mormons and intended for internal consumption and "observer" writings intended to explain or sometimes denounce Utah to the larger society. Notable examples of nineteenth-century observers include American journalist Horace Greeley′s letter series, published in 1860 as An Overland Journey, French botanist Jules Remy′s and British naturalist Julius Brenchley′s Journey to the Great Salt Lake City (1861), Richard F. Burton′s The City of the Saints (1861), and Fitz Hugh Ludlow′s literate and vivid observations, made in 1864 and published in 1870 as The Heart of the Continent, with illustrations by Albert Bierstadt. Perhaps most sympathetic to the Mormons was Elizabeth Kane′s Twelve Mormon Homes (1874), an account of her tour of Mormon settlements from Salt Lake City to St.

Many of the books come from one collection 35 years in the mak- ing. Milo McCowan is what we in the book trade call a completist. He seriously collected a dozen or so authors, but tried to find as much material from those authors as possible. For each author Milo searched out first editions, later print- ings, advance readers’ copies, publisher proofs, manuscripts, periodicals, etc. Fortunately for us Mr. McCowan collected the books of Edward Abbey, as well as friends of Ed’s and authors often grouped with Ed: John Nichols, Tony Hiller- man, Cormac McCarthy, Wallace Stegner, Barbara Kingsolver, William Eastlake, Thomas McGuane, and several others. We’ve enjoyed cataloguing the collection and hope you enjoy perusing the books. If you’re looking for a specific title from one of these authors and do not find it in the catalogue, call us; we may simply have run out of room to include it. We also include several non-fiction titles including the ever-sought after United States Army Hygiene Report of 1875, a Charles Darwin letter, and an original study sketch from Philip R. Goodwin. The fore-edge painting from the Collected Shakespeare would be a special addition to any collection. Enjoy! Sincerely, Andy Nettell 83 N.
