Publisher : Capitol Reef Natural History Association; Reprint. edition (January 1, 1986)
Summary: George E. Davidson tells the fascinating story of the small, isolated community of Fruita, Utah, located within what is now Capitol Reef National Park.
Summary based on my research:
Early Settlement: The book traces the history of Fruita from its beginnings in the late 1800s when Mormon settlers established a community near the Fremont River. These pioneers faced the challenges of living in a remote area, but they were able to create a thriving agricultural community.
Life in Fruita: Davidson describes the daily life of the residents of Fruita, including their farming practices, their social activities, and their religious beliefs. He also highlights the unique challenges and opportunities that came with living in such an isolated location.
"The Eden of Wayne County": Fruita became known for its abundant orchards and was even called "The Eden of Wayne County." The book explores how the community managed to cultivate such fertile land in a seemingly harsh environment.
National Park Influence: The book also discusses the impact of the establishment of Capitol Reef National Park on the community of Fruita. Eventually, the National Park Service purchased the land, and the residents of Fruita had to relocate, marking the end of an era.
Preservation of History: "Red Rock Eden" serves as an important record of the history of Fruita and the people who lived there. It helps to preserve their stories and their legacy for future generations.
Overall, the book offers a glimpse into the lives of the people who settled and lived in this remote corner of Utah. It's a story of perseverance, community, and the unique challenges and rewards of living in a truly isolated "Eden."
If you're interested in Western history, Mormon history, or stories of small communities and their connection to the land, "Red Rock Eden" might be a book you'd enjoy.
