Richard Saunders is librarian and professor of history at Southern Utah University. He has written widely on the Mormons and American history topics. He will deliver the 36th annual Juanita Brooks lecture on Thursday, March 28, at 7:00 p.m. in Cox Auditorium on the campus of Dixie State University in St. George.
He says “My lecture revolves around Juanita Brooks and her place as a "heroic" writer, examining what "history" meant in her context and how that shapes the modern understanding of Utah and its past.”
