Chapter VII: Epilogue

Twenty-one years after Bryce Canyon became a national park, a “coming of Age” party was celebrated at Bryce Canyon on September 15, 1949. The Utah Parks Company acted as host. The Park Service cooperated by inviting to the celebration all those that could be found who were present at the dedication in 1928.

The guests began arriving at Bryce Canyon the day before the celebration. A group that met in the dining room that evening included M. R. Tillotson, Regional Director of the Park Service; P. P. Patraw, Assistant Director and former Superintendent of Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks; Dr. Harold C. Bryant, Superintendent of Grand Canyon National Park; Dr. Angus M. Woodbury, Professor of Zoology, University of Utah, formerly Park Naturalist of Zion and Bryce; their wives and Mr. Victor Petrosso, formerly manager of El Tovar Lodge at Grand Canyon. Others arrived next day including B. J. Finch, formerly District Engineer of the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads; W. P. Rogers, Manager of the Utah Parks Company; Joel L. Priest, Jr. and E. C. Schmidt of the Union Pacific; Mr. and Mrs. David Rust of Provo, Utah; Mr. and Mrs. M. V. Walker, Naturalist of Zion and Bryce National Parks; Jack Christensen of Cedar City; D. C. Dix of the Salt Lake Tribune; and other officials of the Park Service and Utah Parks Company, making a total of 41. Many other invited guests expressed regret at not being able to attend. Those that were present at both the 1928 and 1949 celebrations included the Tillotsons, Finch, Woodbury, Christensen, Schmidt and the Rusts.

Festivities started at noon with a luncheon in the Lodge dining room, after which, about 40 guests were taken on a tour in an ultra modern luxurious Utah Parks bus by Park Naturalist M. V. Walker along the Bryce Rim as far as Rainbow Point and Yovimpa View where everyone enjoyed the friendly greetings of old acquaintances, the superb natural sculptures and the marvelous vistas from the high points where the Aquarius Plateau, the Henry Mountains, the Kaiparowits Plateau, Navajo Mountain and the Kaibab were all to be seen in the unsurpassed landscape.

At 7 p.m., the group converged on the superintendent’s residence where Mr. and Mrs. Smith held open house and dispensed hospitality lavishly.

At 8:15 p.m., the group moved to the lodge dining room where a sumptuous banquet given by the Utah Parks Company was followed by a program at which Superintendent Smith presided and interestingly introduced the speakers. Ranger in charge, John G. Lewis gave the address of welcome. Reminiscences of the early days in the Utah National Parks were related by Dr. Woodbury, who also referred to the outstanding work which Mr. B. J. Finch, formerly of the Bureau of Public Roads, did in pioneering the Zion-Mt Carmel Highway and Tunnel.

Mr. Tillotson gave the main speech of the evening, in which he called attention to the great growth in travel into Bryce from 21,977 in 1929 to 189,493 in 1949, and pointed to the fine work of the Utah Parks Company in making this possible. He also reported that Dr. Thomas H. McDonald, Commissioner of the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads, who had been present in 1928 but could not come in 1949, wrote that “Bryce Canyon, since I first saw it, has been to me one of the most delightful places in the West. I have long felt that a vacation road from Southwest Colorado crossing the Colorado River and coming into Bryce Canyon through Escalante, if properly developed and controlled, offers the best opportunity in the west ...” and thus kindled a fire under the hopes of all Bryce enthusiasts for it would open up the heart of the great scenic area of southeastern Utah, of which, Zion, Bryce and Wayne Wonderland are on the outskirts.

Mr. W. P. Rogers responded with a witty talk about old times, spoke of the fine cooperation of the Park Service and proposed a further reunion in another five years.

The next day, the writer retraced old trails in Zion Canyon and visited the museum and park headquarters where Naturalist Walker explained the developments taking place. Especially prominent was the great increase in the literature available to the public provided by the Natural History Association that had been organized by the writer in 1929. This included pictures, colored slides and publications, among which the works of Dr. H. E. Gregory on the geology of the region were outstanding.

Parrusits, undoubtedly referred to the Virgin River Indians. It
simply means people living on the Par-roos River. Fifty years later,
in 1826, Jedediah Strong Smith, found Indians on the Santa Clara
Creek raising corn and pumpkins. Maurice Sullivan, _The Travels of

[15]What is now the Virgin River was called Sulphur Creek by Escalante
in 1776. Jedediah S. Smith named it Adams River, to which he adhered
in letters written on both trips of 1826 and 1827. This upsets the
idea that he named it for Thomas Virgin, a member of his party.
George C. Yount, as recorded in 1923 by Charles L. Camp, (_loc.
cit._, p. 10), told of entering the Virgin River valley on a trip in
1830, but this is no assurance that it was so named at that early
date. It bore the name of Rio Virgin in 1844 when Fremont passed
over the Spanish Trail and doubtless the name was given between 1827
and 1844. In Fremont’s time, the Muddy River was called “Rio de Los
Angeles,” and the Mountain Meadows “las Vegas de Santa Clara” (the
Meadows of St. Clara).

[21]There are many references in Mormon records to Fremont’s report.
Orson Hyde’s letter of April 26, 1845, to Church officials in Nauvoo
mentions obtaining a copy of Fremont’s report and having Stephen A.
Douglas frank it to Joseph Smith in Nauvoo. The _Nauvoo Neighbor_,
September 24, 1845, devoted four and one-half columns of the front
page to discussions of and quotations from this report. The Journal
of William Clayton, secretary to Brigham Young, frequently refers to
Fremont’s report and map. In Volume 11 and 12 of the _Millenial
Star_, Orson Pratt makes a number of references to Fremont’s report.

[26]“Call”—The Mormons were a peculiarly close-knit harmonious group
working cooperatively together. In order to make for efficiency in
the social group, each one was expected to do voluntarily and with
unquestioning obedience the part assigned by the leaders. Thus
individuals were usually “called” to go on missions, to fill an
office, to go as a colonist, to work on the temple or any other
unusual problem. The “call,” at least in the early days, was
practically a command.

[53]The settlers of Rockville included the following; beginning at west
end on south side of street, Elijah Newman, a wheelwright from
Parowan who had operated sawmills in Parowan Canyon and was well
acquainted with Cedar Mountain; Mr. Frauschum, a jeweler from Provo;
Mr. Scoggins, an Englishman; John C. Hall, a self-educated man from
Salt Lake City; George Staples, farmer from Lehi; Albert and Edward
Huber from France; Thomas Hall, a tinker from Salt Lake City; Joe
and Jim McFate, farmers; Jacob E. and James P. Terry; and Mr.
Coombs. On the north side of street beginning at west end, Samuel A.
Kenner, doctor and journalist; Henry Jennings from Provo; William H.
Carpenter, broom-maker; Hyrum and Ezra Strong, farmers; Henry Stocks
from England, ironmonger by trade, who made the first molasses mill
rollers in southern Utah and brought the mill to Rockville; William
Ashton (“picked on” by the boys); William Crawford from Draper; John
Langston from Draper; Daniel Q. Dennett, fifer in Mormon Battalion;
Tom Flanigan, who sold out to William L. Draper a month later; and
Asa York, carpenter; on land to the north; James Green stayed one
summer. (Interview with James Jennings at Rockville, Utah, August
14, 1933).

[54]In the fall of 1862 the following came to Shunesburg: the mother of
young Hyrum Stevens and his three brothers, Amos, Ezra and Charles;
two uncles, Henry and Barney Stevens, each with two families; Albert
Petty with two families, and John J. Allred. Charlie Klapper soon
left and Albert and George Petty and Hardin Whitlock moved over to
Springdale during the winter of 1862-63. In the fall of 1863 came
James Thaxton and Samuel K. Gifford, a chairmaker.

[55]The first settlers of Springdale included: Isaac Behunin and sons,
Albert Petty, George Petty, William Black and three sons, William,
George and Joseph; Robert Brown, Newman Brown, Hardin (Howard?)
Whitlock, Hyrum Morris, C. G. Averet, Mr. Powell, Mr. Davis, Mr.
Norton and Joseph Millett.

[57]Neff, _op. cit._, p. 908.

[58]There is a difference of opinion as to the location of the cabin. O.
D. Gifford placed it about ⅙ mile above the lodge, on a flat since
washed away by the river. E. C. Behunin, after an absence of 57
years, placed it near the forks of the road that lead to the lodge
and swimming pool. He was evidently mistaken, for his description of
the location of his father’s farm seems to indicate that Gifford’s
location is correct. He was certain that the old river meander just
north of the lodge (now artificially filled in) was not there in the
early days, but the physical evidences before straightening the
river and building the permanent road definitely indicate that it
was. Heap’s farm, which he says was separated from his father’s by
the river, was above this meander. James H. Jennings, who owned the
place afterward, says that Behunin was mistaken. (Interview with
James Jennings at Rockville, Utah, August 15, 1933).
