Covers the subject reasonably well, even though the introduction would lead one to think otherwise. Stegner has a definite affinity for the subject and he does frequently call a spade a spade in his analysis of Mormon life (dull, unexciting, etc.). Did enjoy the book as I do most all of Stegner's writings. Insights galore..... ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Where others saw only sage, a salt lake, and a great desert, the Mormons saw their "lovely Deseret," a land of lilacs, honeycombs, poplars, and fruit trees. Unwelcome in Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois, they migrated to the dry lands between the Rockies and the Sierra Nevada to establish Mormon country, a wasteland made green. Like the land the Mormons settled, their habits stood in stark contrast to the frenzied recklessness of the American West. Opposed to the often prodigal individualism of the West, Mormons lived in closely knit - some say ironclad - communities. The story of Mormon country is one of self-sacrifice and labor spent in the search for an ideal in the most forbidding territory of the American West. Richard W. Etulain provides a new introduction to this edition. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
