In this transcript of the 2007 Tanner Lecture, Deverell discusses how scholars of the Western United States have often neglected integrating Mormon history into the wider narrative of Western History. He also states that these same scholars are ignoring a crucial Western-Civil War connection when they overlook Mormon History. He sees the anxieties expressed over the Mormons in the West as symptomatic of overall anxieties of the nation before the Civil War over issues such as popular sovereignty, states' rights, cultural practices etc. This Civil War approach is just one approach he suggests to help weave Mormon history into the larger narrative of the West and the nation.
