This re-edited second edition of Legacy of the Tetons with new material is an historic account of the men, women and children who battled the land and the elements to homestead in and around Jackson Hole, Wyo., and the Grand Tetons during the 1800s and early 1900s, and the struggle they faced to make a community.

It includes a special section on the Mormon Handcart Migration and a look at the historic settlement known as Mormon Row.
