With his tape recorder, Richard Negri captured the life stories of seven men and three women who lived by herding cattle and sheep in the area around what is now Canyonlands National Park. Encompassing Wayne, Emery, and Garfield counties in southeastern Utah, this was a scenic land of isolated ranches, precipitous paths, and little water or food in the San Rafael Desert and the canyonlands west of the Green and Colorado Rivers. The stories he captured are rich with descriptive details of landscape and the challenges it presented to both humans and animals eeking out a living in this parched territory. The interviews with these early cowboys and cowgirls, sheepmen and sheepwomen, are full of colloquialisms, western flavor, and strong opinions. Fleshed out with maps and photographs, the stories capture the precarious existence of these people, celebrating their triumphs and their challenges, often begging the question of how or why one would choice to live in this hard-scrabble place. What shines clear in these stories is the committment these men and women have to their way of life and to the land they called home.
