The St. George Area Economic Development Office Is Proud to Present the Economic Summit As a Showcase of Southern Utah and a Community That Is Definitely on the RISE MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT The St. George Area Economic Development Office is proud to present the Economic Summit as a showcase of southern Utah and a community that is definitely on the RISE. We are excited for this year’s Economic Summit and so thankful for your support and attendance today! The skyline is changing in Washington County with buildings on the RISE virtually everywhere you look. New projects including university buildings, hotels, hospital expansions, apartments, office complexes, and industrial buildings are changing our local economy and adding to our community. It’s not hard to understand why so many people want to live and work in this great community. Our college, university, and medical school are growing and expanding, and our already impressive healthcare is continuing to innovate and improve. Local businesses continue to be incredible community partners, and our elected officials and civic leaders are dedicated and caring. The quality of life provided by our amazing Jeriah Threfall surroundings is enhanced greatly by the quality of the people who reside here. President & CEO St George Area Economic Development As we start a new year, it’s the perfect time to continue to educate ourselves, strengthen relationships, and work together to keep our community heading in the right direction. With growth there are always opportunities as well as many challenges. I’m thankful to be able to face these challenges surrounded by capable and creative people, and in one of the best places in the world to live.

  • Book Reviews
    The Journal of San Diego History BOOK REVIEWS The Anza Trail and the Settling of California. By Vladimir Guerrero. Berkeley, CA: Heyday Books, 2006. Maps. 240 pp. $16.95 paper. Reviewed by Donald T. Garate, Historian and Chief of Interpretation, Tumacácori National Historical Park, Arizona. At long last, a highly readable, comprehensive single volume account of Juan Bautista de Anza’s expeditions to, and settlement of, the San Francisco Bay Area is now available. Dr. Vladimir Guerrero, a professor of Spanish language and literature, has compiled a concise, 220-page account of both the 1774 and the 1775-76 expeditions. This is especially good news to enthusiasts of the Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail who have struggled for years to know and understand this dynamic story by relying on bits and pieces of information gleaned from various publications or the Internet, or by struggling through Herbert Bolton’s long, out-of- print (and thus difficult to find) five volumes on the subject. Even more so, to tourists and travelers along the 1200-mile route that lies within the United States, this new book will provide a quick and easy read to get all the basics of these phenomenal expeditions. Beyond the basics, Guerrero also offers some welcome interpretation that has been lacking. His most significant contribution shows how important, even vital, Indians Sebastian Tarabal and Salvador Palma were to the success of the expeditions. The book includes writings and viewpoints from the diaries of Anza, Francisco Garcés, and Pedro Font as well as the writings of Father Junípero Serra, and combines them into a highly readable and interesting day-by-day account of the expeditions.

Garreau’s 1991 piece of ideo- logically inflected reportage (frequently reading like a bald promotion) has gone further than any other source that I am aware of toward identifying the urbanistic, cultural, and socioeconomic criteria of this phenomena, otherwise largely recognizable, (those mid-rise subur- ban mega-centers, unapproachable without a car), and just as readily dismissed as innocuous.
