It Happened in Utah (Stories of Events and People that Shaped Beehive State History)

From the U.S. Army’s bloodless “invasion” of Salt Lake City to the humble beginnings of the Sundance Film Festival, It Happened in Utah looks at intriguing people and episodes from the history of the Beehive State.   Read about Jean Baptiste, an exiled grave robber whose mysterious disappearance from a remote island in Great Salt Lake remains unsolved. Relive the life-shattering upheaval suffered by Japanese Americans during their banishment to remote U.S. internment camps during World War II.
