Crossing the Plains

"The paper following, giving an account of the trip across 'The Plains,' was prepared for my children and grandchildren… Ours was 'Bethel Company,' and it may also properly be called a 'Seattle Company,' for more than half its members came to this city to live not long after their crossing.

Pebblechild

This collection of short stories depict life moments for people that are connected through the city of Peñitas, Texas. This manuscript begins as an origin story for the city of Peñitas. According to local historians both in the past and in present times, the city of Peñitas was founded by a priest and five other Spaniards. This idea is integrated into the storyline but with a focus on the impact of a young girl, Tala. She suffers immensely through the actions of a group she refers to as the Long Beards. She has to go through a series of discovery in order to discover her purpose. My goal for Pebblechild is to portray a magical interpretation of life in South Texas through the incorporation of creative elements that also pay homage to factual tribes that inhabited the Rio Grande Valley Area. Reading Pebblechild is like traveling through a time machine. It begins in an ancient era where humans and supernatural forces roam the land. It proceeds to time warp to the 1990’s and then shifts to capturing moments during the 2000’s. The manuscript concludes in present day with Takoda, a descendent of Tala. He unlocks his powers throughout the plot which leads him in the direction of finding the hero within him. After he receives his powers, Tala returns and begins to assemble her descendants with the intention of reestablishing a new safeguard around the city of Peñitas

Landscape of Desire: Identity and Nature in Utah\u27s Canyon Country

Landscape of Desire powerfully documents and celebrates a place and the evolutions that occur when human beings are intimately connected to their surroundings. Greg Gordon accomplishes this with a tapestry of writing that interweaves land use history, natural history, experiential education, and personal reflection. He tracks the geomorphology of southern Utah as well as the creatures and plants his student group encounters, the history lessons (planned and unplanned), the trials and joys of gathering so many individuals into a cohesive will, and his own personal epiphanies, restraints, insights, and disillusionments.https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/usupress_pubs/1141/thumbnail.jp
