- Abstract
"The Last Called Mormon Colonization: Polygamy, Kinship, and Wealth in Wyoming's Bighorn Basin" by John Gary Maxwell explores the Mormon settlement of the Bighorn Basin in Wyoming and its connection to polygamy in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The book provides a historical overview of Latter-day Saint polygamy and examines the colonization efforts in the Bighorn Basin, which are presented as the last instance of Mormons being called to settle an area. The author also discusses the impact of Mormon settlement on Indigenous peoples in the basin and explores the financial situation of the church during that time. The book includes tables, graphs, and a chronology of events related to polygamy and the settlement of the Bighorn Basin.
