AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
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.
