Trade Review
Winner of the Best First Book Award, the Mormon History Association, 2004.

"Offers a fresh, nuanced interpretation of how yesterday's polygamous, communal, even anti-American Mormon radicals became modern-day social and political conservatives in the American West."--Professional Geographer
"Chief among [this book's] contributions are . . . a number of stimulating and novel insights about the causes and implications of the regional struggle between Mormons and non-Mormons during the period."--Journal of Mormon History
"This well-written book will . . . become a standard reference."--Choice
"Yorgason's challenging insights add an important dimension to the discussion of this time of transition, and they may well have a significant impact on how future scholars deal with it."--American Historical Review
