"Scholars have devoted considerable attention to analyses of the law of consecration and the united order experiments and later to the origin and development of the Church welfare plan, but they have said little about the evolution of Mormon poor relief policies from 1850 to 1930. Especially during the Brigham Young period there were poor among the Saints who were not cared for under the united order system, yet the Church made provision for these people. A careful study of this neglected area reveals interesting chapter in the history of the development of Mormon relief policies and closes the seemingly wide gap between early Mormon practices and the institution of the welfare plan in 1936."
