CONDITION: NEW 2007 ARARA large paperback, first edition, no printing given. B&W photos, drawings, & charts illustrate. CONTENT: For over 6,000 years traders, hunters, and farmers visited and lived in Nine Mile Canyon in Utah. The perennial creek and springs provided year-round water for agriculture.
