Golden memories: remembering life in a Mormon village
nearly everything imaginable : the everyday life of utah's mormon pioneers • Provo • Published In 1999 • Pages: 47-74
By: Walker, Ronald W. (Ronald Warren).
Abstract
This study is based on biographies, sketches, and questionnaire responses of Utah's surviving pioneers collected in the 1930s and 1940s by the Federal Writers' Project of the Works Progress Administration and Utah Writers' Project. It portrays pioneer communalism in aid given to newcomers, sharing of resources, nursing the sick, cooperative work teams, and holiday celebrations. In the author’s opinion, the social bonding of the time turned hard days into good ones.
