Do you know where Butch Cassidy hid out? Where Arsenal Hill exploded? Where an entirely female council ran a town in 1912? Where the transcontinental railroad was finally connected? It all happened in Utah. Read these and other fascinating stories about the history of this remarkable state in It Happened in Utah. Authors Gayen and Tom Wharton will introduce you to characters as strange as Salt Lake City's grave robber Jean Baptiste, and as courageous as the pioneers who traveled through Hole in the Rock lugging all their belongings behind them. Ride along with Howard Egan as the Pony Express delivers a message from the President of the United States, and with Dick Wilson as he builds the Slickrock Bike Trail in Moab.
