Description:
A retired miner guides interviewers to and through Winter Quarters, a former mining town in Utah. He points out where buildings stood with offices, a store, boarding rooms, and a garage. The town also had a bathhouse, a school, a church, and a hospital for the 7000 inhabitants of the area. He shows the foundation of the house, where he lived and his children were raised. It included a bathroom and a chicken coop. Storage cellars were dug to prevent food from freezing in the winter months. An explosion in one mine killed many miners, including his cousin. Today tourists and school groups make their way on bad roads to visit this historic site.
