Abstract

This honors thesis studied the history of the Scandinavian immigrants engaging in commercial fishing practices on Utah Lake during the 1850s to the 1930s. I chose this important topic in Utah and Mormon history due to its originality; local location, which made the records easily accessible; familial connections, since I am related to some of the fishermen; and due to my Scandinavian emphasis within the history department.
