| 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 were in trouble. MT: That's right. ED: So, I pinned this guy down one time, at a Museum Board Meeting. "How much is it going to cost me to get this typing?" Typing in those days, there were professional typists who would do theses for students in school, Master's Thesis, Ph.D. Thesis. The charge was a dollar or a dollar and a quarter per page. It had figured out that this was costing me six dollars and eighty cents a page to get this typist to do it. This guy's name was Fairbanks. I said to hell with that stuff. So, I took the stuff away from this gal and made Fairbanks mad, because he wanted to be the boss, you know, and throw his weight around. I hired other people in town to do the typing. My secretary did an awful lot of it, Joyce Marsing. That took us months to get a perfect copy, you know. It had to be perfect. MT: Exactly. ED: Then we, I think in 1979, I put out the first edition of the book. Peczuh Press printed it for me. I finally had, I believe, a total of fifteen hundred copies of this printed up. You've got a copy here, I think. MT: I have my own personal copy. ED: Yes. Now, those were sold all over the state. Sam Wellers Book Store in Salt Lake sold them, the State Historical 102 |
