The Daughters of Utah Pioneers, Uintah County Chapter Biographies were collected by this chapter of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers (DUP) for the centennial history of the Uinta Basin, Builders of Uintah (1947) though some of the files were collected afterwards. Present are both family and individual histories, as well as other histories that discuss the origins of local buildings, the development of area businesses (such as freighting and ranching), population groups (including the Ute Indians), the pre-Mormon history of Ashley Valley, the establishment of the LDS Church, social groups, and the development of local DUP chapters. The histories contained in the files document the settlement of Uintah Valley, Utah, which contains the towns of Vernal and Jensen, Utah, as well as many smaller communities, such as Maeser, Naples, Glines, Taft, Lapoint, and Ashley. The histories cover the period from the earliest settlement of the Uintah Valley in 1877, to 1947, although some are as recent as 1984.

The American Indians have lost much of their land over the years, but their legacy is evident in the many places around the United States that have Indian names. Countless placenames have, however, been corrupted over time, and numerous placenames have similar spellings but different meanings. This reference work is a reprint in one combined volume of the two-volume set published by McFarland in 2003 and 2005. Volume One covers the name origins and histories of cities, towns and villages in the United States that have Indian names. It is arranged alphabetically by state, then alphabetically by city, town or village name. Additional data include population figures and county names. Probable Indian placenames with no certain origin also receive entries, and as much history as possible is provided about those locations. Volume Two covers more than 1400 rivers, lakes, mountains and other natural features in the United States with Indian names. It is arranged by state, and then alphabetically by natural feature. Counties are provided for most entries, with multiple counties listed for some entries where appropriate. In addition to name origins and meanings, geophysical data such as the heights of mountains and lengths of waterways are indicated.
