The Special Collections and Archives of Utah State University's Merrill-Cazier Library houses the personal and historical collection of Leonard J. Arrington, renowned scholar of the American West.
The Leonard J. Arrington Mormon History Lecture annually hosts the presentation of current research by a leading scholar. Among the lecturers have been such notable historians as Thomas G. Alexander, Richard L. Bushman, Sarah Barringer Gordon, Howard Lamar, Jan Shipps, Donald Worster, and Pulitzer Prize-winner Laurel Thatcher Ulrich.
Ever since Ulrich’s House of Females came out, I’ve been fascinated by reading different accounts of early LDS women and seeing different perspectives of plural marriage. This was a very interesting, quick read. Short but gave me enough meat to think about for weeks.
