A History of Rich County

Robert E. Parson

4.9/5 (25256 ratings)

Description:Joseph C. Rich once quipped to his future wife Ann Eliza Hunter that "only men with plenty of hair on 'em are tough enough to stand the climate of Bear Lake." Climate and geography played no small part in the lives of the men and women who settled that region of Utah. Divided into two distinct areas, the county's geography has produced somewhat of an identity problem. The Bear River Valley communities of Randolph and Woodruff have traditionally shared more commonality with towns in southwestern Wyoming, while Laketown and Garden City have had more in common with the older settlements in the Idaho portion of Bear Lake Valley. This disparity is still evident today. Rich County is probably the only county in the state whose newspapers are published in two different states, neither of which is Utah.This volume follows the course of human interaction with the land and resources of Rich County, Utah, as it describes the county's history from the time of its earliest Native American inhabitants through the eras of fur trappers, Mormon settlement, and mining to recent developments in the oil and gas industry and in recreation and tourism.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
