Immersion in history in Salt Lake City UT

Martha's story century ago

Come with me back a century, a whole hundred years, and I like to fancy, to the day. In our reverie let's read the story in the collage above as though we were by standers at witnessing the events of the story.

Having difficulty?

Not for me. Let me explain.

Utah temperatures struggle in the 20s and low 30s after a day of heavy snow. Roads and footpaths, although bladed, had exra build up, turned to ice by footprints or tires ~ treacherous for the unwary or the unknowing. And did I say it was cold today, especially before sun up.

Hardy a person on my packed 7am TRAX (light rail) might convince me that they were enthusiastic about being there.

Now think about Martha again. Not so difficult, eh?

History in Utah becomes alive for me. I hope you might share the feeling as well. Great, isn't it?

When you visit Salt Lake City, be sure to search out the Rio Grande Depot. It's at the north end of TRAX Blue Line.

Barbara - there is plenty of it, and I am always curious.

Wayne - at 9am it's 8F with windchill of 8 (Feels like 0 ~ if you can feel that). Bit brisk, but lovely as usual.
