Fremont and John Wesley Powell, who recorded their reactions to the spectacular cliffs and canyons of southern Utah, to the pioneering homesteaders and ranchers who tried to settle this area, the responses of human beings to the landscape have ranged, Stanley says, from horror and fear to poetic appreciation of its colors and forms. Even today, he says, the historical narratives, reminiscences, and tall tales of the people in the area speak eloquently of the importance the land has m their lives. The variety of reactions is reflected in the stories of endless droughts, riproanng floods, huge rapids and lost tourists, and in stories about such local characters as Ebenezer Bryce, Bates Wilson and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid. Even contemporary tales of park rangers, wranglers, guides and river runners express the constantly changing attitudes to the fascinating beauty of southern Utah. Stanley has a Ph.D. in American literature and folklore from the University of Texas at Austin, and has taught at the universities of Texas and Utah. He is editor of the Utah Folkhfe Newsletter and is past president of the Folklore Society of Utah. One of his special interests is the relation of man and nature in American history and folklore.
