Abstract
George Alexander Sutherland was the first and only Utahn to be appointed to the United States Supreme Court. Curiously, he isn’t mentioned in Utah History books. Further, his national reputation is not much brighter. While acknowledged as a “good” justice, he isn’t ranked with the greatest. Despite his many accomplishments and lasting influence, he has been forgotten (Peterson 1980, 310).
