<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> From the rugged beauty and refined splendor of this vast state emerges a remarkable volume of personal recollections, narrative histories and astonishing stories. Explore the fortitude and cultural diversity behind the development of Utah through "Big Bill" Haywood, vilified by the New York Times as "the most feared figure in America." Experience compelling accounts of women bruised on the front lines of suffrage battles, enthralling stories of Chinese "paper sons and daughters" and heroic endeavors of Northern Ute firefighters. Celebrate downtown's "Wall Street of the West," the off-road cyclist known as the "Bedouin of the Desert" and Utah's love affair with sweets. Culled from her popular Salt Lake Tribune "Living History" column, award-winning author Eileen Hallet Stone uncovers captivating tales of ordinary people and their extraordinary contributions that shaped Utah history. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "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. <p/><br>But there are other stories about Utah involving different religions, ethnic groups, business leaders, athletes and artists. <p/><br>Eileen Hallet Stone examines many of those "other" Beehive State characters in her latest book, "Historic Tales of Utah," published by American Chronicles. <p/><br>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. <p/><br>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."<b>-Tom Wharton, <i>Salt Lake Tribune</i></b> <p/>
