Description

Explore the life of one of the most influential and controversial Mormon leaders in American history with this Routledge Historical Americans biography. This book traces the journey of Brigham Young, an early follower of the new religion who led the massive cross-continental migration of the Mormon people from Illinois to Utah.

His leadership style was radically different from the existing culture of the United States, yet it was heavily informed by it. Through a lively and concise narrative, this work examines his powerful personality and his paradoxical convictions. This historical account provides deep insight into how Young left a lasting mark on his church and the entire region.
