"Salt Lake's short-lived Keep-A-Pitchinin (pronounced "keep a pitchin'in") was more than one of the West's first illustrated journals and humor periodicals. Written by men of talent, including sons of Mormon apostles and even a distinguished apostle incognito, its boisterous wit demonstrated that the nineteenth century Mormon pioneer was something besides a crabbed and humorless yeoman building a commonwealth. It testified to the early settlers' humanity, providing a valuable but over-looked index to those concerns and qualities which shaped Utah society. In 1938 Cecil Alter's Early Utah Journalism declared the periodical was "probably one of the longest remembered and least important of all Utah papers." From today's perspective he was wrong on both accounts." [Publisher's abstract]
