During the Black Hawk War (1865-1872), Brigham Young practiced an "abandonment policy", ordering Mormon settlers to abandon dozens of major settlements and hundreds of ranches in order to build forts and band together for safety. Reeve examines the economic impact this policy had on the Mormon settlers and southwestern Utah.
