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. In this new biography, historian Thomas G. Alexander draws on a lifetime of research to provide an evenhanded view of Young and his leadership.

Very repetitive, light on details, and biased
Reviewed: 08-10-24
20% of the content is repeated, which is too bad because they could have used the space for more details. The author is also clearly biased in favor of Brigham because he doesn’t address the hard topics. Someone needs to write an equivalent of rough stone rolling for Brigham Young.
