From the
Library of Congress: Brought by trappers, traders, miners, and merchants, Catholicism remained a part of Utah in the years that followed. The faith grew as the territory grew, and in 1891 Salt Lake City became the center of a Catholic diocese. The official diocesan newspaper, the Intermountain Catholic, was first published on October 7, 1899, under the guidance of Father Denis Kiely.
The newspaper covered six Intermountain states—Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, and Montana—the names of which were included in the masthead along with the motto: “A Catholic paper for the Catholic home.”
Provenance: From the collection of Richie Piggott.
Mr. Piggott bought this book in a bookshop in Cork City roughly 25 yers ago.
