Utah since statehood, historical and biographical (Volume I)

By Noble Warrum, Charles W. Morse, Charles W Morse

Book Overview

Utah did not simply become a state; it became a story. A state writes its identity. In Utah since statehood, historical and biographical (Volume I), Noble Warrum gathers that story where it matters most: in lived lives, civic decisions, and the local detail that turns a territory into a community. Part utah history reference and part historical biography collection, this volume maps post-statehood utah history through western states biography, from public service to enterprise and settlement. Readers interested in utah political leaders, utah pioneer biographies, and the texture of state and local history will find a rich, contemporary record of the intermountain west 1900s, with particular value for those tracing salt lake city history alongside wider american west history. It is equally at home as a genealogy research source, a starting point for utah history students, or a steady companion for anyone who prefers history told through people rather than abstractions. Historically significant for its breadth and ambition, Warrum's work preserves names, roles, and reputations at the moment Utah was defining itself in the national imagination. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
