"Holley presents a history of Twenty-fifth Street just as compelling as the legends. The book lives up to its subtitle, and readers will find a historical basis to some of the Twenty-fifth Street legends while others are discredited. This work of local history offers a sound illustration of themes, trends, and events that dominated the country as a whole from nineteenth century to the present day."--Utah Historical Quarterly "Captures the sense of the street and its vitality. A significant contribution to the history of one of Utah's most important cities."--John Sillito, coeditor of A World We Thought We Knew: Readings in Utah History (The University of Utah Press, 1995)
