First published in 1930, Salt Desert Trails tells the story of the Great Salt Desert crossings by early explorers and emigrant parties. Central to the story is the opening of the Hastings Cutoff in 1846, which led to the tragedy of the Donner Party and the pioneering of the emigrant trails through Utah’s Wasatch Mountains.

Salt Desert Trails: A History of the Hastings Cutoff and Other Early Trails Which Crossed the Great Salt Desert Seeking a Shorter Road to California
A fine short history of Colorado's territorial period, it ends with the state's admission to the Union in 1876. Many contemporary problems -Â how big should government be, what is its role, how should minorities/natives be treated, preservation vs. extraction or exploitation - saw the light of day during the territorial period. I wouldn't say it's "stay up all night to finish" reading, but it's well done.
I reviewed this book for "Overland Journal," the quarterly magazine of the Oregon-California Trails Association, and the review appeared in the Fall, 2009, issue.
