Markets And The Mormon Conflict: Nauvoo, Illinois, 1839-1846, Catherine Mary Wycoff
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines the development of the economy during the period the Mormons were in Illinois, 1839-1846.

The main sources used are surviving account books, diaries, journals from merchants and farmers. The first chapter describes the settlement of …

Next, three naïve raters trained in phonetics but unfamiliar with how English is spoken in Utah were asked to judge which of the two vowels in a vowel pair contrast was produced by the speakers. Findings demonstrated clear evidence of differences based on selfdescribed religious affiliation for several of …
