Bamberger, born in Eberstadt, Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, has the distinction of being Utah's first Democratic governor, first non-Mormon governor, and the oldest, assuming the office at age 71. He was also the second Jew elected governor of any state in the U.S. He earned a fortune in silver mining and railroading. A strong supporter of Prohibition, he promoted progressive reforms, including establishment of a Public Utilities Commission, Department of Health, and a nonpartisan judiciary.
