History & Documentaries

	A Home of Her Own: The Beehive and Lion Houses VHS To outside observers, the Beehive and Lion Houses were monuments to a strange and isolated world of profound secrecy -- the subject of editorials and satire. The curious would be left unsatisfied, however. No observer was admitted into the inner sanctum of Brigham Young's intimate family life. Its symbolic importance surpassed its practical function. A Home of Her Own: The Beehive and Lion Houses is the story of America's most dramatic and controversial 19th century family, of two homes in one and of the lives of those who called it home. Told through the eyes of two of Young's daughters, Clarissa Young Spencer and Susa Young Gates, A Home of Her Own offers an intimate, human perspective on Utah's first family. "We want not only to highlight the structure, its antiques, and its beauty, but also the lives of women and children who lived for years within its walls," says the documentary's creator Sally Shaum. "The documentary has a very warm and personal side." Item: 2044416 Price: $19.95 Quantity:

	Atomic Stampede VHS In the 1950s, as the Cold War was rapidly escalating and Americans were increasingly concerned with the perceived communist threat, tens-of-thousands of prospectors flocked to the Colorado Plateau in search of uranium to meet U.S. security needs in the form of materials to build atom bombs. A few fortunes were made overnight, both from discoveries of uranium mines and from stocks in uranium ventures; but many hopefuls simply lost their savings, and the most poignant legacy of America's last great mineral boom are three generations of Americans suffering from increased cancer rates. Atomic Stampede, a documentary from KUED, Channel 7's award-winning Senior Producer Ken Verdoia, examines the tumultuous times of the Cold War uranium boom in the Four Corners area.

	Copper Canyon, American Dream VHS They left their homelands-Greece, Italy, England, Sweden, Japan-for hardscrabble boomtowns within the narrow walls of Utah's Bingham Canyon, lured by the prospect of underground riches and a faith in the "American Dream." Instead of gold, silver, and other precious metals, these immigrant miners found low-grade copper ore, a mineral whose value would skyrocket with the birth of electricity and telecommunications in America. The rich history of the people who created the world's largest open pit copper mine has been unearthed in an 80-minute KUED documentary produced by Colleen Casto.

At the turn of the 20th century the West was poised on the brink of an industrial showdown.

	Glen Canyon: A Dam, Water and the West DVD In an isolated spot on the Utah-Arizona border during the 1950s, the great Western issues of water and progress would play out in dramatic fashion against the timeless flow of the Colorado River. One of the largest construction projects in human history had begun and the face of the American West would be changed forever. Glen Canyon Dam would create one of the world's largest man-made bodies of water, while at the same time drowning a thousand years of human history...and a million years of natural history. It was the future of the West, a story of winners and losers, of the politics of power, and of the few who stood in the way. Glen Canyon: A Dam, Water, and The West uses archival photographs, film, and interviews with the key players involved in the dam's construction to present a balanced examination of Western progress. The one-hour documentary was produced and directed by Ken Verdoia. Nancy Green served as associate producer. Glen Canyon Website Item: 2044414 Price: $19.95 Quantity:

	Promontory DVD It was predicted to be the biggest event ever to occur in Utah. Leaders proclaimed, “the world is welcome here.” They promised visitors would flow to Utah, like what they see, and admire the people and place. Utah was told the outsiders would bring money. Money that would trickle down and touch every household. It was called an opportunity of a lifetime; perhaps the opportunity of a century. To change, yet somehow remain the same. The year was 1869. The isolation of the nation’s most unique territory was about to end, as men raced from east and west to meet at a place called Promontory. Promontory Website Item: 2044425 Price: $19.95 Quantity:
