"In our more appreciative moments, we wonder at the magnificence of human spirit that the pioneers exhibited in their struggles against all odds to carve a meaningful and civilized life out of a forbidding wilderness. Of the many factors contributing to the pioneer successes, I will consider here but two-- dance and its associated music. The records left by the pioneers make it clear that dance and dance music played a more significant role in the successful pioneering of Utah than is generally acknowledged. Music and dancing relieved the harshness of the pioneers' living conditions and helped develop the sense of community common to Mormon settlements." [Author]
