The members of this project have been studying intensively various aspects of the Mormon and "Texan" subcultures of the Southwest during the past six years—13 of our field researchers have been concerned with Mormon data and 17 with Texan data. I have drawn extensively upon these historical and cultural materials, which are found in our project files and in various publications (see the front matter in Smith and Roberts [1954] for the total publication list). It should be emphasized that only the most relevant published sources from our project and from other studies that have been made of these two subcultures have been cited in this paper; more extensive bibliographies may be found in Vogt (1955) and in O'Dea's forthcoming book on Mormon Values. I also wish to express my appreciation to Clyde Kluckhohn, Ethel M. Albert, Wilfrid C. Bailey, and Robert N. Bellah for comments and criticisms of the first draft.
