About This Book

A detailed regional history traces Mormon colonization across the Southwest, recounting military expeditions and overland migrations, the founding of agricultural villages, and the mapping of new roads and river crossings. It documents missionary forays and encounters with Indigenous peoples, the logistics of ferries, telegraph stations, and river transport, and the development of cooperative economic experiments and communal stores. Chapters compile primary journals, official records, settlement narratives, and maps to follow community formation, political jurisdictional shifts, and the practical challenges of irrigated farming and frontier life.
