	Brigham Young - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brigham Young (June 1, 1801 – August 29, 1877) was the second prophet and president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).
		Young had a variety of sobriquets, among the most popular of which is "The American Moses" [1], (sometimes "The Modern Moses" or "The Mormon Moses" [2]) because, like the biblical figure, he led his followers, the Mormon Pioneers in an often arduous "exodus" through a desert, to what they saw as a "promised land".
		Young was born to a farming family in Vermont and worked as a traveling carpenter and flsmith, among other trades.

	Utah History Encyclopedia
		Brigham Young was born in 1801 born in Whittingham, Vermont.
		Young's commitment to Mormonism was further strengthened as a result of his initial meeting with Joseph Smith, whom he found to be a dynamic, charismatic leader and believed to be a true prophet of God.
		Young's commitment was underscored by his eventual marriage to a total of 55 wives (accounts differ) and fathering of fifty-seven children by sixteen of these women.

	PBS - THE WEST - Brigham Young
		As head of the Mormon Church and architect of the Mormon colony in Utah, Brigham Young was almost sole author of one of the most important chapters in the history of the American West.
		In 1871, Brigham Young was himself tried under an 1862 law that prohibited polygamy in United States territories, but though he had by this time married more than twenty wives, he was not convicted.
		Young responded to this fresh attack by federal prosecutors by tacitly influencing Lee's Mormon jury to vote his acquittal, but when public outrage over this outcome forced a second trial, Young saw he would have to sacrifice Lee for the good of the church and accepted the verdict that finally condemned Lee to death.

		Brigham Young (June 1, 1801 – August 29, 1877) was the second prophet and president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church; see also Mormonism).
		Young had a variety of monikers, among the most popular of which is "The American Moses" http://www.lds.org/newsroom/showpackage/0%2C15367%2C3899-31--34-2-190%2C00.html, (sometimes "The Modern Moses" or "The Mormon Moses" http://overlandtrails.byu.edu/mapsessay.html) because, like the biblical figure, he led his followers in an often arduous "exodus" through a desert, to what they saw as a "promised land".
		A recurrent question is the nature or extent of Young's involvement in the Mountain Meadows Massacre, the killing of some 120 members of a non-Mormon wagon train near Cedar City, Utah in 1857.

	Brigham Young
		Brigham Young had been an ardent supporter of polygamy and made many forceful speeches supporting the practice as God’s command.

	BRIGHAM YOUNG AND HIS MORMON EMPIRE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Brigham Young was not one of those children of fortune who move with the current of the age, and draw greatness from the greatness of their country.
		It was this claim which made Mormonism a unique creed when Brigham Young came to Kirtland; and after more than fourscore years ---it is this claim which interposes the strongest barrier to the political or religious assimilation of the Mormon community with the rest of mankind.
		The prophet returned to Kirtland in time to meet Brigham Young; and word went abroad that the city of the Saints was to be built in western Missouri, on ground hallowed by the footsteps of Adam and Eve, before their primal innocence was sullied by worldly wisdom derived from the Tree.

		Brigham Young filed a counter petition stating that, though it was unknown to him previously, Ann Eliza was not divorced at the time of the marriage, which was at any rate a 'plural or celestial marriage' and thus not legal.
		Brigham Young argued that the marriage could have no validity at law--that it was only an ecclesiastical affair.

		His account of Young's life is an example of this endeavor, as Brigham Young is neither a saint nor a demon.

		For those wanting the facts, I suggest Leonard Arrington's aptly-titled "Brigham Young: American Moses." For a sample of his theology, there is "Discourses of Brigham Young," compiled by John A Widtsoe.
		The film in itself is a good, especially for the AMC and Turner Classics fans that like films that wisely omit the salacious sex, machine gun profanity, or scene after scene of computer generated effects that glitz in an attempt to cover up a feeble story line.
		Brigham Young ran Salt Lake City like a slave state and public whippings and jihad type murders were common.

	Brigham Young's Deseret Alphabet
		One of the curious items of early Utah history was Brigham Young’s effort to introduce a new alphabet, known as the Deseret Alphabet, into Mormon use.
		It also kept secrets from curious non-Mormons, controlled what children would be allowed to read, and in a largely unlettered society that included non-English speaking converts, eliminated the awkward problem of phonetic spelling.
		For such reasons, for nearly two decades Brigham Young pushed the new alphabet on reluctant followers.
