Salt Lake City, 1890-1930
Author: Gary Topping
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 9780738570747
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Between 1890 and 1930, Salt Lake City experienced some of the most rapid and profound changes of any city in U.S. history. In its pioneer period, from the beginning of white settlement in 1847 to about 1890, the city struggled against outside pressures to maintain its identity as a self-sufficient Mormon utopian community, with its theocratic government, agricultural economy, and polygamous society. But by the turn of the 20th century, Mormonism had largely abandoned those features, and Salt Lake City was becoming like most other American cities as it embraced capitalism, the evolution of transportation and industry, ethnic and cultural diversity, women's rights, and modern entertainment.

Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
An escaped lunatic murders two prostitutes at Lovland Lodge. Delilah and Annabelle have inherited the raggedy old lodge, and business is dead. They don't have the money for repairs, much less for the balloon payment, soon due, to pay off their fat mortgage. They face foreclosure. The recession has cost Sam his job. His two fishing buddies, wounded in Iraq, try to convince him he should start a bed and breakfast. He says they're crazy. When the lodge becomes Samson and Delilah's Haunted Bed and Breakfast, its new name pulls in gobs of guests. The weird lights and noises at night give fun to everybody, believers and skeptics alike, even if they're not too sure of what's going on. They all pitch in to help solve the mystery. A more realistic problem smacks them: Annabelle's dirty rotten ex-husband, Percy. She has kicked him out and filed for divorce, but he keeps trying to steal the property. He kidnaps her and piles a $100,000 ransom on top of the $280,000 mortgage payment.
