Blind Brothers Show Craft in Vernal Park Trade
The Vernal Express describes the Brown’s Fork scene of early 1900s crime and industry. At Newton’s leather plant in Vernal workers craft saddles cinchas and horse tack while the Blind Brothers run a fixture in town. The feature recalls Tom Horn, Rasper and Dart era cattle rustling and the Brown’s Park region’s lethal lore. The piece links local craftsmanship to frontier history and the enduring legend of Brown’s Hole.
