BOOKS BY THE AUTHOR
A Walk Through Colliding Legacies of Glen Canyon
Path of Light treks back through time as author and explorer Morgan Sjogren retraces the 1920s expeditions led by Charles L. Bernheimer into the heart of Glen Canyon and Bears Ears National Monument. Using journals and photographs from the expeditions to recreate these historic routes, Sjogren encounters powerful perspectives and stories about land management and human rights issues that carry forth into the present. Mindful of the pervasive effects of colonization and motivated by a deeply personal care for the land, Sjogren asks what it means to be an explorer while learning from the people who have loved the land for millennia and moments. Path of Light walks towards an illuminated understanding of the landscape and its history in an effort to help preserve it for the future.
“This book is a wealth of history and land. Its pages smell of libraries, desert, and the inside of a well lived-in vehicle."
—CRAIG CHILDS, author of Tracing Time
