About the Author Whitley teaches for the English and Honors Departments at Brigham Young University.
Essays here address the geology of the state, the economic history of mining in Utah, and the lore of mines and miners. From the Ground Up fill that gap with a collection of essays by leading Utah historians and geologists. 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.. 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
Love mining stories, especialy local ones marideath Since I am living in UT, surrounded by mines of varying types, this history was intriguing and interesting. I especially enjoyed reading about the two ghost mining towns located relatively close to my home town. Enjoyable stories.
