| Description |
The interview with Dr. Eldon Dorman covers the subjects of his educational background, providing medical services for mine workers, how the depression affected the mining camps, mining company stores, prostitution in mining camps, working as a doctor in Price, Utah, establishing the geological museum in Price, and the book Archaeology of Eastern Utah. The Carbon County oral history project (1972-1993) consists of oral histories from residents of Carbon County, Utah. While the main emphasis is on living in coal mine country, the interviews are verbal snapshots of rural Utah life from the earliest settlers to as recently as 1993. |

Show DR. ELDON DORMAN the Price Chamber of Commerce, gave us one thousand dollars, which was really the financial beginning of the Museum. We had a lot of financial problems. We tried for years to get the gymnasium in the Price City Hall. They wouldn't talk to us. The Mayor at the time was Bill Welsh. Now, Bill was a good friend of mine and I kept riding about getting the gymnasium and his story would be, "Well Doc, you guys got this little Museum here but maybe tomorrow it may be gone." Well, these were about twelve fellows that had gone to school to Don Burge, they were the primary Jeep Patrol Members, most of them rock hounds. Eventually we saw that we had to do something, we had to maybe try to get some funds. We didn't know what to do. We thought of forming a corporation of our own and trying to operate on our own. We finally decided to give it to the College because they had the academic and scientific background to back this thing up. Now, about that time, Dr. John Tucker carne to the College, he was the President of the College and Dr. Tucker pitched in and helped us. Before Tucker got here we were trying to work with the College. The guy up there was Burton Shaw and he made lots of promises but he never helped us. John Tucker pitched in, helped us out in every way he could. Now, you remember, for a short period of time Carbon College carne under the supervision of the University of 87 |
