Summary

Utah had a problem in 1903. The St. Louis World's Fair had invited the state to participate in a parade of states. The parade was only few months away, and Utah was unprepared: It had no state flag.

I'm continually amazed at the great historical finds that Ron Fox helps to unearth. Nice job to him and to Phil's team at State History! Our understanding of Utah's history is richer because of their tenacity.

Please check

Has anyone challenged the authenticity of this find before making such a big deal about it? Maybe we have another Mark Hofmann on the loose...
