Pioneers in the Attic explores the way in which narratives of place came to establish Mormon identity in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and how early understandings of "gathering^" and "Zion" encouraged individuals to migrate and live communally in the Great Basin region of the American West. Patterson looks at how this history has led to a modern-day community that grounds itself in the memorialization of early Mormon pioneer identity.
