Outstanding example of courage and fortitude

This book has been in my family for many years. It is the story of Mormon pioneers who were called to settle the Southeast portion of Utah and serve as a buffer between the Navajo Indians and other settlers. They find themselves building a road through country that is impassable, even today. The title comes from a slot in the cliffs above the Colorado River where they blasted and built up a road to the bottom of the canyon, only to find that the hardest parts still lay ahead. An epic historical tale, made all the greater because it is true. Mr. Miller painstakingly researched all the original diaries and histories he could find. He very carefully points out areas of the unknown and discrepancies in different histories.
