Lowell C. “Ben” Bennion

Lowell C. “Ben” Bennion is a geography professor emeritus of Humboldt State University, Arcata, California, where he taught for thirty years. Well before moving back to his hometown of East Millcreek in Salt Lake County in 2000, he became involved in Mormon studies. Most indicative of his interest in Ulrich’s book is his “Plural Marriage” map-essay in Brandon S. Plewe, ed., Mapping Mormonism: An Atlas of Latter-day Saint History, 2d ed. (Provo, Utah: BYU Studies, 2014), 122–25. He also has authored an article on “Mapping the Extent of Plural Marriage in St. George, 1861–1880,” BYU Studies Quarterly 51, no. 4 (2012): 27–68.
