Horned Snakes and Axle Grease by Jerry D. Spangler and Donna K. Spangler
"This is not only the most exciting book about Utah archaeology in decades, it is also a wonderful story about the struggle to make a living in an extremely harsh climate. Freezing in the winter, blistering hot in the summer, short on water, Nine Mile Canyon seems the kind of place where the best anyone could do is survive. Yet ancient people not only survived there. They built homes and storage bins and apparently defensive structures that remain hundreds of years later. And they created a grand art gallery, many miles of fantastic and beautiful rock art dating back hundreds of years. Nine Mile Canyon is a testament to human creativity. 'Horned Snakes and Axle Grease' is worthy of its subject, a beautiful and creative work of art and history." Joe Bauman, author 'Stone House Lands The San Rafael Reef' University of Utah Press
