4.9/5 (27551 ratings)

Description:Carbon County is situated in central Utah, with the Book Cliffs on the north and the Wasatch Plateau on the west. Hundreds of years ago, a group of Fremont Indians lived in Nine Mile Canyon and inscribed their rock art on the canyon walls. White men first became interested in the area as a means to exploit the coal in Pleasant Valley. The Price River Valley was first settled by a group of Mormon pioneers. Within a few years, settlers had founded the towns of Price, Wellington, and Helper. The inhabitants of the valley soon found themselves in political conflict with their neighbors to the south, and when their attempt to move the Emery County seat to Price was thwarted, they founded Carbon County in 1894. The beginnings of coal mines in Sunnyside, Castle Gate, and other places encouraged people of many nationalities to migrate to the county, and they have helped create a vibrant and multifaceted history in this most unique county of the state. The history includes the stories of towns and mining camps, strikes, conflicts, tragedies, struggles, cooperative efforts, and accommodations among the various national and religious groups making up Carbon County to the present as it and the state begin their second century.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
