Historical NoteReturn to Top
The "Little Valley Bulletin" was a camp newspaper created in July 1956 by Clare Kamerchak Sikora, a University of Wyoming journalism graduate, and Lois Hummel, a University of Montana journalism graduate. The two housewives thought it would be a good project to create a newspaper for Little Valley, Utah, a Southern Pacific Railroad temporary construction camp. The camp town was created to build a new railroad across the Great Salt Lake. The two women documented the camp town of Little Valley, Utah from 1956-1957 until their husbands were transferred to other towns for new construction projects.
