Brandon S. Plewe

Brandon Plewe is an associate professor of geography at Brigham Young University. Several undergraduate research assistants contributed greatly to this project over five years: Kyle Burgess, Ammon Clemens, Steven Fluckiger, Altheda Geurts, Laura Hinckley, Nathaniel James, Robert Swanson (who was especially helpful for this fourth part), and Susan Yungfleisch. Their work was possible thanks to funding from the BYU Religious Studies Center, the BYU Center for Family History and Genealogy, and a BYU Mentored Environment Grant.
