1980 ~ L. W. Macfarlane, M.D. ~ Yours Sincerely, John M. Macfarlane

Good used condition hardcover; no jacket; a bit of wear to binding, but not bad.

​Sincerely Yours, John M. Macfarlane is a biographical and documentary volume that preserves the letters, experiences, and personal reflections of John M. Macfarlane, a prominent Latter‑day Saint musician, pioneer, and community leader best known as the composer of the beloved Christmas hymn Far, Far Away on Judea’s Plains. The book gathers his correspondence, journal entries, and family recollections to paint a vivid picture of nineteenth‑century Latter‑day Saint life—its hardships, faith, migrations, and creative energy. Through his own words, readers see Macfarlane’s devotion to the gospel, his contributions to early Utah’s musical culture, and his deep love for family and community. The volume serves both as a historical window into the lived experience of early Saints and as a tribute to a man whose artistic and spiritual legacy continues to influence Latter‑day Saint worship today.
