While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
A complete listing of all the Indian villages,
towns and settlements as listed in Handbook of Americans North of Mexico.
Casa del Eco (Span.: house of the echo). A large cliff
village in San Juan canyon, s. Utah, 12 m. below the mouth of Montezuma canyon.
Described by Gannett in Pop. Sci. Mo., 671, Mar., 1880; Hardacre in
Scribner's Mag., 274, Dec., 1878; Jackson in 10th Rep. Hayden Survey,

Cumpa. Located as a Navaho settlement by Pike (Exped.,

Cumumbah. A division of the Ute, formerly living in
Salt Lake, Weber, and Ogden valleys, Utah. They are said to have been a mixture
