Scope and Contents

Robert A. Goldberg was a history professor at the University of Utah. This collection includes photographs from material gathered by Goldberg while he was researching information for his book, "Back to the Soil: The Jewish Farmers of Clarion, Utah."

The 8 photographs in this collection come from a former Clarion resident named Harry Bernstein. Also included are two photocopies of letters sent to Goldberg from Bernstein dated April 27, 1984, and June 22, 1984. Bernstein belonged to the largest family that lived on the settlement.

Clarion was an experimental Jewish agricultural settlement which existed from 1912-1915, with the last members leaving in the 1920s. It was lead by Benjamin Brown and other Jewish immigrants. The small community failed shortly after being established because of poor soil, lack of water, physical hardships, and discontent among its members.
