- catalog abstract "Relive one man's dedication and determination to increase the quality of life for residents in east central California from the early 1900s through the Depression years. You'll meet and fall in love with Father John J. Crowley--a monumental man in his devotion and faith in God, his determination to fight for causes that would better the common man, and his vivacious attitude toward life. Until now, the story of one of the California desert's most dominant figures of the early twentieth century was fated to slip into anonymity. Here you'll discover his devotion to the spiritual and economic welfare of the people in the Owens Valley and Death Valley regions through vignettes told by his parishioners, friends, and relatives. Many of Father Crowley's weekly "Sage and Tumbleweed" columns enrich this historical account by glimpsing into his thoughts and actions. This intriguing biography will engage historians, people of all faiths, and lovers of true literary prose. It will revive your spiritual and community allegiance while entertaining you with the story of a real man among men.--From publisher description.".
