Dixie Saints: Laborers in the Field
by Douglas D. Alder
Dixie Saints tells the stories of the common folk who lived in Utah's "Dixie": the farmers and the ranchers, the freighters, the midwives, the mothers, and the teachers—those whose names are on genealogy charts, but seldom in the history books. They worked hard, helped others, and laid the foundations of thriving communities. This book consists of interviews conducted with people born between 1880 and 1910 who grew up in southwestern Utah, the Arizona Strip, and the Muddy River region in Nevada.
