The Lost History of Saltair

Donation protected


Help me preserve and to share history!

Saltair's history is an intricate and is fascinating. There has only been one book ever written about the resort and it did not cover it fully. It passed over much of the resorts history as has the many newspaper articles written about the resort over the years.

My mission to share all the history that has been "lost" about Saltair and share it in book form. I've chosen to put it all in a book, as books are the longest lasting form of media and I want this to be the definitive writing on Saltair, one that people will read for decades to come.

The title of my book is The Lost History of Saltair because there has been so much lost when the story of the resort has been written or talked about.

When I started my project, it was going to be a simply a youtube video but I gathered much more data than one or even a series of videos could do justice to telling. Also originally I was only writing about the roller coasters of Saltair but upon discussions with others about my book, and also in solving an issue of explaining why the roller coasters were there, I came to the decision to expand my project to be about the whole resort.

I have been down many rabbit holes doing research and been in the trenches for many hours writing and sometimes rewriting sections. This is a passion project/ hobby of mine which means all of it is worked on when all my in real life responsibilities are complete each day. That is why after 6 years it is not published however, I do promise that it will be worth the wait. My book has 40 pages on just the roller coasters of Saltair and never before seen pictures of them. It also tells the story of the founding, operating and closure of the resort in detail never before found in one place.

For those that donated to the cause back in 2017 and 2018 you will be getting the first copies, signed copies of the book when it is published. You have been my fervent supports from the beginning and I have a list of who you all are. I appreciate the support. I am currently not adding to that list but might in the future as I get closer to publication. But you can still support my project by buying one of my books logo stickers. They are 4 dollars which includes shipping. Please contact me through private message or email on how to purchase those.
