Show Acknowledgments I would like to thank Kent Powell and Craig Fuller of the Utah State Historical Society, who have been the best support team an author could ever ask for. Their editorial input has been invaluable throughout the writing of this project. Many residents and officials of Sevior County also have been very supportive. My local readers, La Rue Larsen, Max E. Robinson, and former county commissioner T. Merlin Ashman, provided a great deal of help, often clarifying local issues for me. The professional historians who read the entire manuscript, Sevier County native Jeff Johnson of the Utah State Archives and Professor Wayne Hinton of Southern Utah University, offered sound comments which, I believe, improved the finished work. Any errors that remain are unintentional and are mine alone. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to my wife, Kathy, and our nine children, who have lived with this history probably a lot longer than they would have wished. Finally, as the dedication page indicates, this book is for my parents, who have always been there for me. M. GUY BISHOP IX |
