Great Basin Kingdom An Economic History of the Latter-day Saints, 1830-1900, New Edition

"A masterful account of the politics and practices that enabled Mormons to settle in the hostile environment of the Great Basin."--The Christian Century
"A landmark book."--David Brion Davis, New York Review of Books "Easily the most informative single volume yet published on the Mormons in Utah. It is economic history written in proper fashion, by an author who never forgets that economic factors cannot be studied in isolation from the prevailing social, intellectual, and political climate."--Rodman W. Paul, Mississippi Valley Historical Review "Arrington's most important book."--Thomas G. Alexander, Journal of American History
