<p>Cache County, Utah, has a wonderful historical legacy. The high alpine county hosted Native Americans for generations prior to its exploration and settlement by Europeans and white Americans. Geographically isolated but abounding in water, game, and beaver, the area became a beloved respite for the early trappers. Other explorers and traders also found their way into the beautiful valley, but the cold winters discouraged any type of permanent settlement until the late 1850s.\nOnce opened, the county became a haven for thousands of settlers. Numerous Mormon converts from the British Isles and<br />
Scandinavia joined fellow believers in acquiring the necessary land for survival. Their rich historical heritage is apparent through their successful pioneering, farming, dairy industry, and creative marketing. Cache County also has had a lasting impact on education in the West in the form of Brigham Young College and Utah State University. These institutions provided opportunities for thousands of people to expand their knowledge and prepare for careers. The county has transformed itself into a manufacturing and educational center as the twentieth century closes. This volume surveys the individuals and institutions that have created the county.</p>
