Publisher's summary

My Life in Carbon County in the 1950s is more than just a personal history—it’s an invaluable and informative depiction of the railroad and mining industries in this small but important Utah community and the resilience and unity of its members. When the alarms went off, signaling an accident in the depths of the mines, this ethnically and religiously diverse yet close-knit society banded together. The tracks and the coal brought people from all over the world, but the citizens of Carbon County in the 1950s learned to live in close association with those who believed differently and to accept each other’s differences. This book abounds with photographs, maps, and illustrations of places both past and present and takes the reader on a veritable road trip through the communities of Castle Gate, Spring Canyon, Standardville, Helper, Kenilworth, Spring Glen, Carbonville, Price, Hiawatha, Wellington, Sunnyside, Dragerton, and the other communities of historical Carbon County. The personal experiences that Ronald G. Watt relates about these small mining towns are a public treasure not only to the past and present residents of Carbon County but also to the residents of the great state of Utah.
