San Juan Outpost

Ruth Hale, Nathan Hale

Drama
"This play is set in Bluff, Utah, in the year 1883. This is a story about the people who were sent into the barren, forbidding Southern Utah territory to make friends with the Indians and establish an outpost for Zion in an unhospitable land. It is a good western pioneer story with conflict and romance. Unscrupulous Texas cattlemen almost bring Indian disaster to the hardworking Saints.”
