Despite mining's multidimensional role in the history of Utah since Euro-american settlement, there has never been a book that surveyed and contextualized its impact. From the Ground Up fill that gap with a collection of essays by leading Utah historians and geologists. Essays here address the geology of the state, the economic history of mining in Utah, and the lore of mines and miners. Additionally, the book reviews a handul of particularly significant mineral industries—-saline, coal, uranium, and beryllium—-and surveys important hard-rock mining regions of the state.

From the Ground Up: A History of Mining in Utah
An extremely detailed look at the mining industries in the state of Utah. I loved learning about gilsonite--a very dangerous hydrocarbon that is only commercially mined in the Uinta Basin. It fractures into needle-like pieces that cut skin and its dust is highly flammable. The book also gives a great history of the Park City area, the Bingham copper mine (Rio Tinto/Kennicott) and coal mining in the mountains around Price. If it is (or has been) mined in Utah, it is in this book. Really interesting historical material--including the story of High Mass in the St. George tabernacle. Who knew?
