Reviews
"Most Utah history books concentrate on Mormon stories, rooted in the role of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in settling the state.
But there are other stories about Utah involving different religions, ethnic groups, business leaders, athletes and artists.
Eileen Hallet Stone examines many of those "other" Beehive State characters in her latest book, "Historic Tales of Utah," published by American Chronicles.
The 208-page book is filled with stories about the outlaws, mining towns, immigrants, mountain men, union agitators, store owners, businessmen and wartime heroes who are part of Utah's fabric.
Stone, a New England transplant who writes a living-history column for The Salt Lake Tribune, has a knack for digging up unusual tales about her adopted state."-Tom Wharton, Salt Lake Tribune
