This essay focuses on Brigham Young's environmental ideology that nature and its resources belong to "all the people," and that there should be no private ownership of the land. This statement about treating land as a sacred gift to all was beautiful and problematic to settlers in Utah as they sought ways to organize themselves as individuals and families. This essay compares and contrasts Brigham's statement with the actions of Utah pioneers and addresses the effects of that contradiction.
