Erected in 1918 by inmates of the Utah State Penitentiary, this monument honors Simon Bamberger, Governor of Utah from 1917 through 1920. Under a state law passed in 1911 permitting prisoners to work on state roads, the prisoners participated in road work on the Castle Gate-Duchesne Road during the summers of 1917 and 1918. The stone was obtained from the Kyune stone quarries in the hills northwest of the monument.
