## Resource

In this episode, we tackle the question of why early Utah Saints embraced cooperative economics like the United Order. Gerrit digs into a 1866–67 Inspector General’s report submitted to Congress by Generals Ruesling and Hazen. The document characterizes Latter-day Saints as ”open and avowed foes” of the United States, recommends banning Mormons from government contracts, and bizarrely treats the fact that Mormon contractors underbid Gentile competitors as evidence of disloyalty rather than fiscal responsibility. They close with the Articles of Agreement from the St. George United Order, a digression on the gold standard, and a ranking of the worst Google-reviewed presidential homes (with John Tyler’s Sherwood Forest taking the crown thanks largely to ill-tempered family dogs).
