Relive the Scofield mine disaster through a measured, historical account that records the events, the people, and the relief response with care.
This edition assembles a documented narrative of the May 1, 1900 explosion at Scofield, Utah, and the community’s effort to honor the fallen while supporting families left behind.
The book centers on the disaster’s impact on the town and its fraternal networks, including the Knights of Pythias and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. It also chronicles the relief fund's administration, the distribution approach, and how the community organized memorials and care for widows and orphans.
The following will be experienced or learned:
- A concise overview of Scofield’s early settlement and its coal mining context.
- Details on how relief efforts were conceived, organized, and distributed to families.
- Biographical sketches and roles of local leaders and lodge members involved in the recovery.
- A view of the community’s lasting memory, including dedications and memorials for the deceased miners.
Ideal for readers interested in mining history, Utah history, or the social response to industrial disasters in small towns.
