Ephraim Hanks, an early Park City Pioneer, and the very brave and prolific Mormon polygamist who likely is the discoverer of silver ore in Park City, will be discussed in this lecture. County Attorney Margaret Olson and City Council Member Tana Toly are both descended from him. Margaret Olson will tell us a few of the many stories about her great-great grandfather. Hanks operated the stagecoach station at Mountain Dell and is pictured here at his log home on what is now 224 in Snyderville.

Margaret Olson, Summit County Attorney and Sally Elliott, Founder and Co-Chair of Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History will be the presenters.
