Description
Original Fine Art Photography by Donna Kennedy…
Photographed in Capital Reef National Park, Utah
Elijah Cutler Behunin, a Mormon pioneer, was one of the very first Anglo-European settlers in the Capitol Reef area. in 1882 Behunin and his family built this cabin, and stayed a brief time until the rising river washed out their crops. Behunin was one of the first settlers in this area.
A family of ten lived here. Braided rugs covered the dirt floor, ends of dress materials became curtains. There was a fireplace to cook in, and a water supply near the door. The family probably ate outside. Father, mother, and the two smallest children slept in the cabin. The post bed almost filled one side of the room. By widening a dugout in the cliff behind the cabin the older boys had a place to sleep. The girls made a den in an old wagon box. It’s well worth the 10 minutes it takes to stop and look around (and you will instantly have a new appreciation for all the modern conveniences we have today)
