Reseña del editor:

Carbon County's history contains many fascinating people, some who are well-known for reasons good and bad, and some who never laid a claim to fame.

This book features historical biographies of thirty-one people who left a mark on Carbon Country, including mountain man Jim Baker; pioneer Margaret Savage, Dr. Lillian Heath who used outlaw Big Nose George's skull for a doorstop; Bill Carlisle, the gentleman bandit; and John Osborne, the governor who wore shoes made of an outlaw's skin.

Some attained success. Others harbored darker dreams, weaving their schemes in that wide-open time and place. Some became legends still cloaked in controversy. Others faded from the limelight, quickly. Their occupations ran the gamut from ranchers to ruffians, from lawmen to outlaws, and from doctors to artists.
