What red-blooded person wouldn't want to trek with the explorers into the San Juan? The story of Jerry Lindsey's venture into this virgin area provides breathtaking reading. Digging to find water to preserve their lives - trying to build friendship and understanding with the Indians - finding a way through tortuous, jagged canyons - all these things these stalwart pioneers did to follow the request of their great President, Brigham Young, to settle in this little-known, out of the way country.
