The Mormon Pioneer National Heritage Area (MPNHA) and Discovery Road are bringing forward historic images, interviews, taping and original research to present “The Untold” documentary episode. The half-hour program features strong women and determined men that left their mark on the landscape of the American West. The program opens with the story of a Payson, Utah school teacher who was forced to leave her classroom career, then travel overseas to become a midwife only to tragically perish aboard the Titanic on her journey home. Payson historian Dee Stevenson operates a school museum that honors the heartfelt story of Irene Colvin. He tells Discovery Road how the young instructor still teaches us.
