Poetic Obituaries: The first remains the gold standard

for its detailed reporting and deep understanding of Utah culture. It is Salamander: The Story of the Mormon Forgery Murders by Linda Sillitoe and Allen Roberts. When Linda Sillitoe died Wednesday, Utah lost a talented author, a dedicated newspaper and magazine reporter, a poet, novelist and historian. She was 61.

She first came to our attention in the 1980s as a feature writer for the Deseret News, our historic competitor and more recent business partner in the newspaper racket.
