Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from My Summer in a Mormon Village
Even on the train we began to feel the grateful in?uence of restful country life. From the windows we watched the quiet lake, the wayside ?owers, and the sea-gulls, engaged in the surprising occupation of fol lowing the plow. At our station, a West ern meadow-lark sang his sweet strain from a telegraph pole we could hear blackbirds calling from the marshes.
We took the only wagon that met the train, and drove through the village. It was a typical Mormon village, one of a line of closely connected settlements running along the valley between the Wasatch and the great lake. The settlements, with their elaborate system of irrigation, when contrasted with isolated farms of the East.
