transcript
(28
pages
in
length)
that
consists
of an
interview
between

on

,

Utah
Oral
History
Project
conducted
by the
Charles
Redd
Center
for
Western
Studies
at

Young
University
and the
Utah
State
Historical
Society
. The
oral
history
is
mainly
autobiographical
in
nature
and
describes
the
early
civic
development
of
Monticello
,
Utah
.
Dorothy
recalls
community
dinners
and
other
gatherings
,
including
the
community
concerts
that she

hardworking
and
tolerant
people

were
willing

help
their

could
. She
claims
, '
I
think
that if

have
made
any

it
has been to the
development

[Monticello].
' She also
indirectly
contributed
to
Monticello's
