"Bahr has delivered those interested in Mormon Studies a gift by editing and publishing these little-known ethnographies."--Nova Religio "Together these two informative books [Saints Observed and Four ClassicMormon Village Studies] make the Mormon village come to life as the signature settlement pattern of nineteenth-century Mormonism."--Utah Historical Quarterly "These ethnographies capture minute details that could only be uncovered through careful and thorough investigation of the places and their people... They are incredibly detailed and demonstrate an intimate knowledge of the lives and affairs of their subjects."--Mormon Historical Studies
