Reflections and Stories from the West Desert of Utah, 1880 to 1991 - Paperback

by Jack Williams (Author)

This book of seven short stories contains reflections that my mother, Lila Leon Kearney Williams, recorded before her death in 1976. She lived part of her life in the West Desert in the village of Callao located on the northern part of an eighty mile long valley called Snake Valley that extends from Gold Hill Utah to Baker Nevada. Some of her stories were passed down to her from aunts and uncles and some are about her life as a youth in this desert region. Other reflections are my own, extrapolated from experiences I've had myself traveling to this desert region to camp, to explore and to relive some of the heritage I claim from this area.
