"I Would to God" A Personal History of Isaac Haight

Caroline Keturah Parry Woodley

This long-awaited publication is the second in a series of monographs of Mountain Meadows, companion to Historical Topography: A New Look at Old Sites on Mountain Meadows. This story is a pageant of one man-Isaac C. Haight - and his immediate family. As a pioneer, first mayor of Cedar City, Utah, and religious leader, he kept very detailed journals and wrote many letters to his wives and children. These documents were used by his granddaughter Caroline Keturah Parry Woolley to compile a history of his life and of early Cedar City.

And We Built a Cabin

McRay Cloward

In 1989, retired SUSC professor, McRay Cloward, started writing a paper "confined to the building of the College Cabin by a dedicated faculty and staff" and over the next four years it grew into a book-length personal history of the school's faculty and staff as the "cabin" became the Mountain Center. And We Built a Cabin: A Story About a Cabin, A Mountain Ranch, and a Dedicated Faculty reveals the dedication and sacrifice of faculty and staff that built much more than a cabin. They built an institution now known as Southern Utah University.
