I loved Ogden when I began the project, and love Ogden even more having finished it. I learned ways that I never imagined Ogden contributed to Utah's development and heritage. It was quite a ride. One of the biggest surprises was finding out that in 1909, when Utah wanted to outlaw the sale of liquor, (Prohibition would occur in Utah in 1917 and nationally in 1920), it was stopped by a state senator from Ogden, Rudolph Kuchler. lie was considered a parliamentary master, and he added provisions to the bill that were bound to make the governor veto it. You can read about that in the book. Q: Why should a person who lives in or near Ogden, be it a lifetime local or a transplant, pick up and read this book? It's a great story. The book covers a century 1869-1969, and throughout various periods of that century, each decade has lessons that the people who love Ogden can gain insight from. Everything we are today builds on what people did in the past. We are dependent on the sacrifices of those before us, hard work, meetings, paving, lighting, electrification. These people worked long and hard to make life easier. It gives us a more mature perspective about how all generations relate to each other. It's a way for us to feel connected to something bigger than ourselves.
