| Description |
The interview with Joseph Dalpaiz covers the subjects of his father, mining, strikes, prejudice, the company store, Helper, the mafia and the Ku Klux Klan, leaders in Helper, wages, and church. 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. JOESEPH DALPAIZ #1 KT: Did your parents farm there? JD: No, my dad never farmed. No, he went into business down in Helper. First he would tend bar, and he did that for a couple of years. Then he went into the saloon business himself and it just went like that.
