"A Fisherman Out of Water" is a virtual one-man tour de force by 'Promontory On May 10 1869, two steam locomotives chugged across a barren bar-ren landscape in northern Utah until they stood nose-to-nose. A crowd converged, and within minutes min-utes the event was frozen in time as one of the most familiar images of the American West. The competing com-peting arms of the transcontinental railroad had been joined at Promontory Summit in the Utah territory. But just beyond the photographic photo-graphic images of East meeting West in Utah is a more controversial controver-sial story: A little known story of the people who built the final stretch of the rail line; of hard fought negotiations between railroad rail-road executives and the legendary Brigham Young; of broken promises prom-ises that created economic chaos and destroyed lives.

"Since the early 1980s The Mums, under the co-direction of Nathan Stein, have created some of the most joyous, upbeat and magical to premiere on KUED continent. Fueled by a unique partnership with the federal government, gov-ernment, the private railroad companies com-panies were awarded government money and land grants for every mile of track they completed. The financial incentive inspired a sometimes wild dash of men and rail lines that converged on the nation's most isolated population center. The Utah territory of the 1860s was a little known, often controversial, contro-versial, religious settlement in the nation's heartland. Virtually all events in the territory played out under the watchful eye of Mormon Church President Brigham Young, who exercised a unique blend of religious, political, social and economic eco-nomic power. When the Union Pacific wanted laborers. Vice President Thomas Durrant turned to Brigham Young, who saw Durrant's proposal for a Mormon labor force as a way to bring jobs and prosperity to his people following fol-lowing the economic devastation wreaked by the grasshopper plague. "Promontory" details how Brigham Young would never see the sums Union Pacific and Central Pacific promised him and his followers. He was so angry at the railroads that he was conspicuously conspicu-ously absent from ceremonies in which the final spike was driven. When the dust had settled. Young claimed to be owed more than $1 million, but he could not budge railroad rail-road executives who ignored Mormon demands for payment.
