History c. 1878-1898, Late Pioneer Utah Period |
| "This article discusses a period of stress and
adaptation following the death of Brigham Young as the
Church confronted great pressures to conform to
contemporary American mores. After presenting an overview
of the period, the article considers organizational
changes, economic programs, establishment of new LDS
settlements, and missionary work, then focuses on the
struggle over Polygamy, culminating in the Manifesto of
1890 announcing the official end of Plural Marriage.
In the wake of the Manifesto came home rule for Utah (see
Utah Statehood), expanded proselytizing, attempts to
shore up religious education (see Academies),
and more limited Church economic involvement (see Pioneer
Economy)." Encyclopedia of

Lake Temple |
| "The Salt Lake Temple is an impressive structure
standing on the ten-acre Temple Square in the heart of
Salt Lake City. For many years after its construction,
the temple physically dominated the Salt Lake Valley.
While other buildings now tower over it, the gray granite
structure is still recognized as the religious symbol of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
worldwide." Encyclopedia of
