- Summary:
- Through K. C. Kartchner's accounts of his musical career and regular jobs we gain considerable insight into the workaday world of pioneer life--especially into its modes of relaxation, which includes sporting events as well as music and dance. His autobiography also offers accounts of Mormon culture in the wake of the Pleasant Valley War, which touched the lives of many in the area; and of the growth of the Forest Service.
