Diggings and Doings in Park City is a historical account that chronicles the early mining era and community life of Park City during its boomtown years. Drawing on local records, personal recollections, and regional history, the book explores the development of silver mining operations, the growth of the town’s economy, and the colorful personalities who shaped its frontier character. It highlights the hardships, ambitions, and social dynamics of a rapidly expanding mining community, portraying both the rough-and-tumble atmosphere of the camps and the gradual emergence of civic structure and culture. Through its narrative of industry, enterprise, and everyday life, the work preserves an important chapter in Utah’s mining heritage and the transformation of Park City from rugged diggings into a lasting mountain town.
