Description
Brigham Young was a man of humble beginnings, whose life was transformed by his faith in Mormonism. From his early days as a craftsman in New York, he embarked on a journey to spread the word of his religion, speaking in spiritual tongues and building a community that would eventually span the United States and England.
After the murder of Joseph Smith, the founder of Mormonism, Young became the leader of the Latter-day Saints, guiding them over the Rocky Mountains and establishing a new home in Utah. He was a charismatic figure, both revered and reviled by those around him, and his leadership had a profound impact on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
This biography provides a nuanced portrait of Brigham Young, a complex figure whose commitment to his faith had a lasting impact on the American West and the Church he led. Turner's detailed account sheds light on the challenges and triumphs of Young's life, offering a rich understanding of this pivotal figure in American religious history.
