| Biographical/Historical Note |
The following is a video clip from an oral history interview with David Prevedel. "To begin with, I think the reason they came to Ogden was for the hot springs. After coming from Tyrolia in Northern Italy, they were coal miners in Rock Springs. Based on the rheumatism they acquired from working in the mines, they sought hot springs to soak their bodies. I know they went to Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, and they came down here to North Ogden out by Smith and Edwards where there was a resort at the time, and that kind of exposed some of them to the Ogden area. Of course, they go back to Rock Springs and Superior, Wyoming, and tell the others, 'You gotta come down and go to these hot springs and see the country down here.' So, I think that sort of enticed them to come down to Ogden. Back in the Tyrolean history, a lot of the elite made a pastime of soaking in hot springs, so they felt they had a little bit of elite status, plus their aching bodies with rheumatism from working in the wet coal mines, is what brought them down here." |
