A travelogue, this film provides a guided tour of pre-World War II Utah and of course does not pretend to cinematic greatness. Recommended viewing for those in search of introductory Utah history.

Especially informative for those desiring a window into the past for a view of how Utah was in the days of their pre-World War II progenitors living in the state.
