• Chapter 3: Making the MIA, 1911–1930 (churchofjesuschrist.org) — A sweeping church history chapter traces how early 1900s Latter-day Saint youth programs blended recreation, contests, camps, and drama to keep young people engaged, noting that one young woman briefly lived in Pima. It explains how activities like Bee-Hive Girls, Gold and Green Balls, and girls' camps were designed to build faith, skills, and community during rapid social change. While not Pima‑specific, it offers context for how local LDS traditions evolved.
