This
book is written to the second or third grade level. I grabbed it
because I wanted to know what people were saying about Utah. It was
written by Sarah Tieck. Some of the pictures are very interesting.
Delicate Arch is on the front, a good picture of the Salt Lake temple
and tabernacle are included. It also has views of Bryce Canyon and Zion
National Parks. It also mentions Golden Spike where the railroad lines
came together. The famous people from Utah it mentions are Brigham
Young and Donny and Marie Osmond. There is a picture of the handcart
pioneers I had never seen before. I explains that Utah did not become a
state until 1896 because “U.S. Congress disagreed with some of the
Mormon beliefs.” This book was brief, and it spent a few pages worrying
about the theme of the nation rather than Utah.
