Eileen Hallet Stone is a Utah-based journalist and current editor of the Graphic Arts Journal.
Stone (coauthor, Missing Stories: An Oral History of Ethnic and Minority Groups in Utah) here gives voice to a little-known group of Utah residents. Selected from nearly 100 oral histories by Jewish settlers in Utah, this book includes accounts of men and women of diverse backgrounds, including the earliest Jewish merchants who hauled freight overland to Utah, an explorer who befriended Brigham Young, haberdashers struggling through the Great Depression, and even Soviet Jews who found new freedom in the Great Basin. Stone's gentle editing preserves the vividness of personal memory while providing a very readable narrative. The text is enriched with numerous photographs, and the author includes traditional recipes and a Yiddish glossary. A fine example of how to work raw oral histories into a form accessible to nonscholars, this is recommended for Western, oral, and ethnic history collections.
