our understanding of the broader subject? Do you find his approach compelling?
2. The author provides only limited historical background when combined with your
existing knowledge of the 1960s and the Johnson Administration, did you find it
sufficient? Did you think the specific examples given in the early chapters were wellchosen, in that they supported the authors contentions?
3. The sources referenced make clear that there were many factors and forces at work

Frederick Jackson Turner does not specifically mention the Mormon Church or the Reynolds case in his famous essay on the role of the frontier in American history. In a short essay of 300 to 450 words, place the Reynolds decision and Professor Taysoms analysis of it in the overall context of Turners thesis. In other words, can the Mormon era in territorial Utah fit into Turners thesis of how the frontier operated in the furtherance of American liberty and individuality?
