My Summer in a Mormon Village #266035

When I tell people that I went from New York to spend the summer in Utah, they look at me with such polite amazement that I hurriedly explain my errand. My friend, an enthusiastic student of birds, after her summer of study in Ohio and Colorado, was looking for new worlds to conquer. I went with her for the birds and the climate, - the too little known climate of the dry elevated region between the Rockies and the Sierra Nevada, known to geographers as the "Great Basin" of America.
