When James Work took a teaching job at the College of Southern Utah in the mid-1960s, he knew little about teaching and even less about the customs of his Mormon neighbors. With deadpan humor, Work pokes fun at his own naivete in "Don't Shoot the Gentile, " a memoir of his rookie years teaching at a small college in a small, mostly Mormon town.

This book is comprised of fourteen intimitately written stories, weaving together a lifetime of experiences that contributes to making the author into what he is. With topics ranging from windmills to airports, from pueblo dances to Sandhill cranes, from hiking to wilderness camping to conoeing, James Work's memoir explores human origins and how our experiences shape us.
