Washington • Twenty years ago, Terry Tempest Williams collaborated with several writers to push for protection of Utah's red rock country, publishing a book called "Testimony" that would be delivered to members of Congress in an effort to convince them of the need to act.
"Red Rock Testimony," a small tome with a cover carved to look like the iconic rounds that gave the Bears Ears area its name, includes short stories, poetry and testimonials on why the 1.9 million acres should be set aside. The book, like its older version, will be sent to members of Congress and has already been delivered to the Interior Department, the Bureau of Land Management and other federal offices.
