A resource tool for students of the western colonization of the United States, 19th century America and American religion.
This free downloadable PDF is a tool for teachers and students in high schools and junior colleges to use in dealing factually in a classroom setting with the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Mormons. It chronicles the migration of Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake Valley in Utah and their colonization of the American Great Basin. In many history books, the story of the Mormons is given little space and it is difficult for teachers to find reliable resources about the Mormon contribution to the history of the United States. We invite you to download and use this PDF in preparing your school presentations, reports and projects.
