About the book
"In 1911 eighty one families left eastern cities to farm the Calrion tract. Jewish families funded the venture, the governor of Utah encouraged it, and the Mormon church financially aided the community. Despite these efforts, Clarion died as an organizational entity in 1916, with the dozen remaining families departing by the mid 1920's. Goldberg sheds light on the values and ideals of the colonists, the daily rhythm of life, the personalities of the settlers, and the struggle for and eventual collapse of their dream. Of all the attempts to establish a Jewish colony on the land, Clarion was the largest and had the longest existence of any colony west of the Appalachians"--Back cover.
