Gerald Lund highlights pioneers' struggle across untamed southern Utah

I can hardly wait to begin reading this book, which I already own. I'm grateful for authors like Gerald Lund who are willing to put in the time and effort to research real people and events and then make the story come to life for the rest of us! These brave pioneers need to be remembered, too.

Once I started reading this book I could scarcely put it down. It is very informative historically, as well as having a wonderful fictional cast of characters and story line. I highly recommend it just as I do the "Work and the Glory" series and "Fire of the Covenant."

I just read the article and found a Christmas gift for my husband or/and my father-in-law. Hurray!!!

Thlank you for "Hole in the rock"! Last spring while my wife was in the hospital, I tried to find something on "Hole in the Rock", "the pioneer treck"! All the computer could give me was "The Home in the rock!" Thank you,Carma Wadley!!

Thanx for the story. While renting a houseboat a couple of years ago on Lake Powell, we saw the Hole in the Rock and it piqued our interest to know more. Very cool to hear there's now a book out. I'm a fan of Gerald Lund's books, ever since reading "Leverage Point" back in the '80s. So I'm looking forward to reading this one.
