Scott Thybony’s explorations of the American West have resulted in award-winning articles in magazines such as National Geographic, Smithsonian, and Outside. His books include Burntwater, chosen as a PEN Center West finalist for creative nonfiction, and the bestseller Canyon Country, from the National Geographic Society.
For a long time, many of us have known a simple truth: No one
writes better about the American West than Scott Thybony. He proves
that fact again with The Disappearances. It is a compelling book
from the first sentence to the last as he interweaves startling
stories with poetic descriptions of time and place. With The
Disappearances, Thybony shows why he has to be ranked alongside Ed
Abbey and Chuck Bowden as a brilliant interpreter of the West.""
—W.K. Stratton, author of Chasing the Rodeo and Ranchero Ford/Dying
in Red Dirt Country
“Scott Thybony once again provides a wonderful mix of natural
history, history, and mystery in this story of the disappearances
of three young people and the efforts to find them. It is set in
Utah’s canyon country, a place where people still get lost and die,
and that even 75 years later can still legitimately be called the
boonies.” —Richard Quartaroli, special collections librarian,
Northern Arizona University
