"With a history beginning with railroad construction and spanning over a century, Utah International ventured into varied major construction projects before switching to large-scale mining. The authors have woven a fascinating story of this remarkable enterprise."--David F. Myrick, author of Railroads of Nevada and Eastern California and Railroads of Arizona "Writing corporate history requires a delicate equilibrium. Sterling D. and Gene A. Sessions (no relation) have managed to strike that balance by not only illuminating the history of Utah International, but by also casting it in a favorable light."--Western Historical Quarterly
