LDS historians' preoccupation with the themes of conflict has obscured the expansion of Mormon settlements after 1875. The activity was intense. 'In the ten years preceding the death of Brigham Young in 1877, 127 new colonies were planted. In the four-year period from 1876 to 1879 alone, one hundred new settlements sprang up in Arizona, Idaho, Colorado, and Wyoming, and in the 1880s major new settlements were founded from Mexico to Canada...' (p. 53-54) These settlements reflected 'the most important long-term crisis of the period--the crisis of overpopulation and the resultant breakdown of the tightly structured Mormon village system.' (p. 53) This was 'a final battle in the struggle against industrialization and individualism.' (p. 68) Mormons were seeking to preserve the agrarian past by its policy of outward migration.
