Using the paintings of his grandmother, Lucile Cannon Bennion, and the journals of his grandfather, Glynn Sharp Bennion, Bennion discusses the attitude and philosophy of Manifest Destiny that pushed westward expansion. Mormon colonization of Utah and the West was a pragmatic implementation of Manifest Destiny with a more focused effort at communalization.
