The governorship of Henry H. Blood the critical years, 1933-34

This thesis is an attempt to determine the role played by Henry H. Blood, governor of Utah, during the critical years of 1933 and 1934. This was a crucial period in the history of the state as the Great Depression reached its nadir in 1933, and the Great Drouth compounded the economic maelstrom and most severely stricken by nature's perverseness, the chief executive's efforts to cope with the problems incident to the time are worthy of examination.
