"Professor Diane Mutti Burke describes the culture of the small-scale slave society of western Missouri into which the Mormon settlers migrated in the 1830s. The hostile reaction to the Mormons’ arrival is portrayed from the perspective of the reasonable threats felt by the Missourians to their way of life." [Editors Abstract]
