Master's thesis

"It is the purpose of this thesis to study specific aspects of the evolutionary culture associated with the Mormon culture region of specific interest in this study is the origin of certain perceptual attitudes of the Mormon people and the resultant landscape features which occurred after the Mormon interaction with the habitat of the West. The major hypothesis of this study is that the Saints' perception of and use of the environment were dominated by their religious background. These three factors--man, religious perception, and the environment--were responsible for the development of the relic Mormon culture region." [Author]
