Great Basin Kingdom is perhaps his greatest work.  A classic in Mormon studies and western history, Great Basin Kingdom offers insights into the underdeveloped' American economy, a comprehensive treatment of one of the few native American religious movements, and detailed, exciting stories from little-known phases of Mormon and American history.  This edition includes thirty new photographs and an introduction by Ronald W. Walker that provides a brief biography of Arrington, as well as the history of the work, its place in Mormon and western historiography, and its lasting impact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A masterful account of the politics and practices that enabled Mormons to settle in the hostile environment of the Great Basin.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe Christian Century\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A landmark book.\"--David Brion Davis, \u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Easily the most informative single volume yet published on the Mormons in Utah.
