Whales of the High Desert

Whales of the High Desert explores the story of James Wickham; an Englishman who was reported to have brought whales to Great Salt Lake in the 1870’s.

Pulled from a real 1888 Salt Lake Herald article, Professor of Folklore, Dr. Lynne McNeill guides us through the history and wild claims that circle Wickham’s tale.
