History belongs to the people, Dean May reminds us, and must ultimately be accessible all. Based on his award-winning television series, Utah: A People's History provides a sweeping view of the state's past. From prehistory to present, May explains Utah as it is today and its promise for the future. The video series upon which this book is based is no longer available for sale.

Dean L. May is a professor of history at the University of Utah. He has published extensively on the social history of the American West, most recently Family, Land, and Society in the American West, 1850–1900.
