In 1954, in its September 6th edition, Life magazine published a 10-page photo essay on a remote corner of southern Utah.

This was the work of two of America's most celebrated photographers, Ansel Adams and Dorothy O'Lang.

They had spent three weeks in Gunlock, Toccurville, and St. George, and they created this rare and intimate portrait of an isolated, deeply rooted community that had begun to feel the pull

They took thousands of photographs.

35 made it into the piece.

The magazine called it three Mormon towns.

The art historian James Swenson says it was one of the most important collaborations in American photography.

But he said the project began long before 1954. In fact, it was 20 years earlier, he says, when Dorothy O'Lang and her then husband, the artist Maynard Dixon, made a trip to

Zion National Park. They hadn't really been to southwestern Utah at this point.

And so they make this trip in which they bring their sons and they board them in Tocerville.

And Dorothy O'Lang photographs one of the original founders, a woman by name of Marianne Savage,

who was a plural wife to Levi Savage, one of the founders of Toccurville.

She chose to photograph Savage in profile, and you can see the wrinkles and age as is represented on her face.

Her hair has this beautiful wave and pattern to it that clearly was of interest to laying.

She's also wearing her canning apron.

And if you've been around Utah in the summer, canning aprons were what women wore when they were canning.

And so she's practical in that sense. But there's just this almost honor that Lane has in this photograph for this strong woman who would have seen just the hardships of what they saw as the frontier.
