Eileen Hallet Stone is out with a second collection from her popular Salt Lake Tribune “Living History” column. In “Historic Tales of Utah” (The History Press), Stone tells many of the stories of Utah: “Big Bill” Haywood, vilified by the New York Times as “the most feared figure in America,” women bruised on the front lines of suffrage battles, Chinese “paper sons and daughters,” heroic Northern Ute firefighters, downtown Salt Lake City’s “Wall Street of the West,” the off-road cyclist known as the “Bedouin of the Desert,” and Utah’s love affair with sweets.
Award-winning author Eileen Hallet Stone’s projects include “Hidden History of Utah,” “A Homeland in the West: Utah Jews Remember” and “Missing Stories: An Oral History of Ethnic and Minority Groups in Utah,” co-authored with Leslie Kelen. Her commentary is featured in the 2015 documentary film “Carvalho’s Journey.” She writes a “Living History” column for the Salt Lake Tribune.
