Great Basin Kingdom: An Economic History of the Latter-day Saints, 1830–1900
Arrington, Leonard J. Great Basin Kingdom: An Economic History of the Latter-day Saints, 1830–1900. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1958.
Why this matters here
Arrington reconstructs the economic and institutional life of early Latter-day Saint settlements. The chapter cites that history for the pressures of migration and coordination, not as proof that every later community norm has a single origin.
