The San Juan River in southern Utah snakes its way near the small communities of Anneth, Bluff, and Mexican Hat, and then winds through one of the most isolated regions in the country. Unless one drove through the Four Corners region, traveled on one of the many river raft trips, or followed the televised reports of the 1998 manhunt that scoured the region looking for three cop killers, most people probably would never encounter the San Juan. However, for authors James M. Aton and Robert W. McPherson, the lower San Juan (the portion of the river that runs through Utah) serves as a microcosm of life in the American West. |
