Richard E. Bennett presents new facts and ideas that challenge old assumptions--particularly that life on the frontier encouraged American individualism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an excellent command of primary sources, Bennett assesses the role of women in a pioneer society and the Mormon strategies for survival in a harsh environment as they planned their emigration, coped with internal dissension and Indian agents, and dealt with tribes of the region. This was, says Bennett, \"Mormonism in the raw on the way to what it would be later.\" Now available in paperback for the first time, with a new introduction by the author, \u003cem\u003eMormons at the Missouri\u003c\/em\u003e received the Francis M. and Emily Chipman Award from the Mormon History Association and was honored as a \u003cem\u003eChoice\u003c\/em\u003e Outstanding Academic Title by the American Library Association.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard E.
