'Contrary to studied and popular conception, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints operated a systematic welfare program during the period between the end of the Great Basin Kingdom and the 1930s. This forgotten charitable activity became even more complex after World War I and during the 1920s, and it formed the launching pad from which the current Church Welfare Plan proceeded.' Blumell then seeks to revise present historiography as argued by Barton, Arrington, and May. Further, the author holds that 'although standards of care inevitably differed,...these early welfare efforts were usually more elaborate and comprehensive than those of contemporary private or public agencies.'
