The journal is published by the Outlaw Trail History Association, that was organized last fall and is centered in the Uintah County Library Regional room. The first issue of the journal focuses on outlaws and lawmen and future issues will include women of the Uintah Basin, mountain men and trappers, homesteading, the Utes, the military, mining, etc. John D. Barton and Michael Kelley, history instructors at Utah State University's Uintah Basin Education Center are the editors.
