Darrell and Gordon W. Knight collection on Jesse Knight. 1897-1949.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/656303403

Collection contains newspaper pages that feature articles relating to the Jesse Knight family and show the family's impact on the state of Utah socially, politically, and economically. The newspapers come from various Utah publications including the Deseret News, Deseret Evening News, Salt Lake Tribune, Salt Lake Herald, Salt Lake Herald Republican, and Inter-Mountain Republican. They date between 1897 and 1949, with the bulk of them between 1908 and 1910. Newspapers that date before 1921 focus on Jesse Knight's political, philanthropic, social, and professional life, and on Jesse William Knight's political career. The newspapers post-1921 report events regarding Jesse Knight's family, the majority of which are of a social or political nature. Many of the articles refer to Jesse Knight as "Uncle Jesse" and Jesse William Knight as "Cousin Jesse." Besides hard, laminated copies of the newspapers, the collection includes a DVD of 18 scans of the newspapers. All are duplicates and maintain a similar date range to that of the hard copies.
