"Brigham Young was the supreme American paradox, not because he contained elements foreign to American soil but because he united them--the business genius of a Rockefeller with the spiritual sensitivities of an Emerson, the lusty enjoyments of the pleasures of good living with the tenderness of a Florence Nightingale. He was not merely an entrepreneur with a shared vision of America as the Promised Land; he was a prophet with visions of his own and he built beyond himself."

As president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Utah’s first territorial governor, Brigham Young (1801–77) shaped a religion, a migration, and the American West. He led the Saints to Utah, guided the establishment of 350 settlements, and inspired the Mormons as they weathered unimaginable trials and hardships. Although he generally succeeded, some decisions, especially those regarding the Mormon Reformation and the Black Hawk War, were less than sound. In this new biography, historian Thomas G. Alexander draws on a lifetime of research to provide an evenhanded view of Young and his leadership. Following the murder in 1844 of church founder Joseph Smith, Young bore a heavy responsibility: ensuring the survival and expansion of the church and its people. Alexander focuses on Young’s leadership, his financial dealings, his relations with non-Mormons, his families, and his own deep religious conviction. Brigham Young and the Expansion of the Mormon Faith addresses such controversial issues as the practice of polygamy (Young himself had fifty-five wives), relations and conflicts between Mormons and Indians, and the circumstances and aftermath of the horrific events of Mountain Meadows in 1857. Although Young might have done better, Alexander argues that he bore no direct responsibility for the tragedy. Young relied on the counsel of his associates, and at times, the Mormon people pushed back to prevent him from implementing changes. In some cases, such as polygamy and the doctrine of blood atonement, the church leadership eventually rejected his views. Yet on the whole, Brigham Young emerges as a multifaceted human figure, and as a prophet revered by millions of LDS members, an inspired leader who successfully led his people to a distant land where their community expanded and flourished.  

What kind of man was Brigham Young? Some have called him the greatest colonizer of all time, a modern Moses who brought the latter-day children of Israel out of the bondage of persecution. Some know him as a prophet, who saw in vision holy temples and the glorious destiny of his followers in the Rocky Mountains. He was both of these, and more. Author Francis M. Gibbons paints a grand panorama of the great events of Brigham's life: his conversion to the Church, his ministry under the Prophet Joseph Smith, his management of the exodus to the West, and his Church and government leadership. But he also reveals Brigham's human side: his childhood in New England, his work as a painter and glazier, his love for dancing and drama, his dress and diet, his spirituality, his family life, and his final days. "To mention Moses and Brigham Young in the same breath," writes the author, "to compare their attributes and work, or to ascribe their qualities of character to each other, is a compliment to both." This book provides an in-depth look at the personality and achievements of one "like unto Moses," one of the world's finest leaders-Brigham Young: modern Moses, prophet of God.

An historian of the Mormon Church draws on diaries and letters not available to previous biographers to profile the highly gifted and controversial church leader

Brigham Young prepared for his life's mission in the state of New York. He was born in Vermont, taken to New York State as an infant, and raised on hard work by deeply religious parents. He lived and worked during most of his thirty years in the heart of the Finger Lakes region. A willing worker, but lacking formal education, Brigham learned and practiced a variety of trades. At the age of sixteen he was apprenticed to a furniture and cabinet maker in Auburn. Young Brigham became, in time, an expert husbandman, farmer, gardener, carpenter, glazier, mason, furniture and cabinet maker, painter, and boat builder-and even took a turn at lay preaching. Many of Brigham's closest associates in later life were old friends whom he had first met in New York State. Perhaps the most noted of these was his close confidant Heber C. Kimball, who also came from Vermont parentage. And there was Solomon Chamberlain, with whom Brigham later crossed the Plains. Chamberlain was to become one of the first members of the Mormon church and appears to have been the first unofficial missionary to make direct contact with the Young family.

Brigham Young was a rough-hewn craftsman from New York whose impoverished and obscure life was electrified by the Mormon faith. He trudged around the United States and England to gain converts for Mormonism, spoke in spiritual tongues, married more than fifty women, and eventually transformed a barren desert into his vision of the Kingdom of God. While previous accounts of his life have been distorted by hagiography or polemical exposé, John Turner provides a fully realized portrait of a colossal figure in American religion, politics, and westward expansion.After the 1844 murder of Mormon founder Joseph Smith, Young gathered those Latter-day Saints who would follow him and led them over the Rocky Mountains. In Utah, he styled himself after the patriarchs, judges, and prophets of ancient Israel. As charismatic as he was autocratic, he was viewed by his followers as an indispensable protector and by his opponents as a theocratic, treasonous heretic.Under his fiery tutelage, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints defended plural marriage, restricted the place of African Americans within the church, fought the U.S. Army in 1857, and obstructed federal efforts to prosecute perpetrators of the Mountain Meadows Massacre. At the same time, Young's tenacity and faith brought tens of thousands of Mormons to the American West, imbued their everyday lives with sacred purpose, and sustained his church against adversity. Turner reveals the complexity of this spiritual prophet, whose commitment made a deep imprint on his church and the American Mountain West.

Brigham Young comes to life in this superlative biography that presents him as a Mormon leader, a business genius, a family man, a political organizer, and a pioneer of the West. Drawing on a vast range of sources, including documents, personal diaries, and private correspondence, Leonard J. Arrington brings Young to life as a towering yet fully human figure, the remarkable captain of his people and his church for thirty years, who combined piety and the pursuit of power to leave an indelible stamp on Mormon society and the culture of the Western frontier. From polygamy to the Mountain Meadows Massacre to the attempted preservation of Young’s Great Basin Kingdom, we are given a fresh understanding of the controversies that plagued Young in his contentious relations with the federal government. Brigham Young draws its subject out of the marginal place in history to which the conventional wisdom has assigned him, and sets him squarely in the American mainstream, a figure of abiding influence in our society to this day.
