"Deseret" is almost a lost word in Utah. It survives only colorlessly, in the name of a few business firms and religious organizations. Latter-day Saint children sing hymns to "our lovely Deseret" with little understanding of the passionate devotion the name once commanded, or the aspiration which it encompassed. Most of the pioneers who fought for the cause of Deseret are no longer living, and except in the eyes of history, "Deseret" is dead. But for students of history and social institutions, the story of Deseret is of enduring interest. Deseret introduced Utah to national political life, indelibly shaping Utah life and institutions, and as an idea and an ideal persisted in the social and po!itic|al struggles of Utah for thirty years after its cause was lost."
