It takes a village: social character in rural settlements

nearly everything imaginable : the everyday life of utah's mormon pioneers • Provo • Published In 1999 • Pages: 75-88

Abstract
This study examines different patterns of social organization in three Mormon communities: Alpine, Utah; Middletown, Idaho; and Sublimity, Oregon. The patterns, ranging from tight knit and clannish to a relative independence among families, are attributed to differences in social ethics and human interactions in the three communities that, in turn, are traceable to distinct settlement histories, environments, and economic activities.
