Almost single-handedly he engineered a farms-footed renaissance in Church musico between 1880 and. 1916, spurred. on by his dreams of *singing their own hymns to their ount music.o' "A splendid biography of a sadly neglected cul- tural figure of Utah. The writing is graceful and clear, the details telling. I particularly enjoyed passages in which Stephens's own writings were quoted. The out of state judge of the League of Utah Writers.
