December 22, 2016 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Beginning in the 1820s, mountain men were lured to northern Utah by promises of wealth in the lucrative beaver pelt trade. Frontier trappers were the first inhabitants who kept records of events in the Ogden Valley. This was before there were trails through the mountains. The beauty of the wilderness was immaculate, but there was hardness and danger in that beauty. The … [Read more...]

The Face of Utah During the Great Depression

December 1, 2016 by David E. Jensen Leave a Comment

Utahns are a resilient lot, hearty and self-reliant. The Mormon Church teaches its members to be prepared in the event of a national or world-wide economic crisis, natural disaster, or other unforeseen calamity, and yet, in spite of advanced preparation by many of its citizens, Utah was one of the states hardest hit by the Great Depression of the 1930s—the result of a Stock … [Read more...]

November 25, 2016 by Maria Milligan Leave a Comment

As a railroad hub and industrial center, Ogden has seen its fair share of colorful and sometimes questionable history. At the heart of that history is 25th Street. Infamous for everything from opium dens and bootleggers to prostitution and gambling, 25th Street has been home to a thriving underground. Perhaps that is why legends persist to this day of a series of tunnels that … [Read more...]

Babs in the City: Petal it Forward

November 24, 2016 by Babs De Lay Leave a Comment

Kindness comes in many forms. I know, it may have been hard in this past election season, full of absolute, unadulterated meanness, to sift out kindness from all the B.S. that fell from the sky. But kindness is delivered every darned day, often by florists, on behalf of lovers, husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, kids and cousins, friends and neighbors. Last month, a … [Read more...]

Jefferson, Hamilton and Marriner Eccles

November 15, 2016 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

“There is a problem with Capitalism,” I hear young people say. “Capitalism and corporations are killing this country!” But is capitalism really the problem? Capitalism is a system that works if that system isn’t manipulated by special interests. The founding fathers knew that decentralized power was a key to creating opportunity but capitalism has the tendency to centralize … [Read more...]

October 28, 2016 by Christian McKay Heidicker Leave a Comment

On a howling, frigid morning in January, 1862, a group of officers rowed across the Great Salt Lake with a prisoner. The prisoner’s head wept blood where his ears had been severed. The words ‘I robbed graves’ were branded across his forehead. His name was Jean Baptiste. On Antelope Island, the officers built him a small shack with few comforts, then left him to live out his … [Read more...]
