Journey ... USA, Four Corners Fall 2012 to Spring 2022

Apaches, Navajos, Puebloans, Paiutes, Buddhists, ecologists, nomads, wanderers, movie makers, futurists, atomic bomb builders, lodge builders, and aspiring immigrants from the Caribbean, South America, Central America, and Africa. These are the people who I invite you to meet through the stories in this book.
They are people whose history and present are intertwined in the rugged, breathtaking landscape of the Four Corner States: Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah.
These states in the Southwest part of the United States have a unique connection. One corner of each touches a corner of the others at a perfect perpendicular angle.
The site where they join is marked by the Four Corners Monument, operated by the Navajo Tribal Parks. The monument features a round, metal plate, issued by the US Department of the Interior, that bears two intersecting lines and the names of the four states.
This is set in a large concrete pad with grooves that extend from the lines in the plate. Here, person after person squats or stoops and has a photo taken with a hand or a foot in each state. That's nice. But come inside, read the stories, meet the people.
