world!), Stephan G. Stephansson was, by any measure, a brilliant writer and social
critic. Jane W. McCracken's outstanding study, Stephan G. Stephansson: The Poet
of the Rocky Mountains, can be read in its entirety online, as can Rev. Stefan M.
Jonasson's essay about Stephan G. as a philosopher and social critic, "Out in the
Open Air." The Stephan G. Stephansson Homestead is maintained as a heritage site
by the Province of Alberta.
