Of Mammoth, Mines, Miracles and Marriage: The life of Howard J. Hassell

From the hard-scrabble life of an early 20th Century mining boomtown in West Tintic Utah, the life of Howard Hassell presents the challenges of life during the Great Depression, the isolation of a remote dry farm, together with a trajectory of transition through education, hard work, persistence and an eye on the divine. He worked, he studied, he fixed things, he discovered new things. He served his country during a trying period of history. He met discouragement with fortitude, endured setbacks and felt the triumphs of family and profession. He married the girl of his dreams and rejoiced the arrival of daughters and sons. Somewhere in his life is a lesson for just about everyone.
