^{Thus begins this most intimate portrait of the towns and peoples living, and who have lived, within the pseudo-confines of Garfield County. This site will, basically, either link or inform you as to the answer to just about any question you may formulate, and as you may imagine, that number comes out around 50. Although this page is far from complete, time will be spent over the Christmas vacation in order to finish it. Also, this editing is being done using a Netscape Navigator based html source, so colors and such many turn out strange on a Mac, however if worse comes to worse I would be able to post this site on my home server, rather than using the schools. On a personal note, my name is Alex Ku. I have the privilege of being a US History student at the local high school here in Downers Grove, IL, a suburb outside of Chicago. I live with my mother and two brothers, (one in college), in a 4 bedroom abode, about one hour away from the great city. The first question that must have appeared in the reader's mind would probably be "Why in God's name would a student from Illinois ever endeavor to create a webpage about Garfield County, Utah?" Well, the answer is quite interesting. My teacher, Mr. Graham, has aspired to make a "Journey of Experience" across the United States this next summer, 1999. Along the way, he will be passing through around 110 different counties, each with its own wonders and unique qualities. Garfield happens to be one of them. Although it may seem dull at an initial viewing, Garfield County is covered with rich heritage and comical anecdotes. The following information regarding this oasis in the middle of Utah is divided into 8 individual groupings. Hopefully, you can reap the benefits when this is completed.}
