Brigham Young. He is called the "Great Colonizer of the West."
United States religious leader of the Mormon Church after the assassination of Joseph Smith
In 1844 the Mormons followed Brigham Young to what would become the Utah Territory.
Yes he was great he was a leader of the mormon church and had a clean soul. He beleived in his religion and showed it by his good works.
Brigham Young was the second President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church). He lead the Church from 1847 until his death in 1877. However, he was ordained an Apostle (one of the highest levels of Church leadership) in 1835.
Brigham Young was a Morman leader. Some called him the American Moses or Lion of the Lord. So this letter probably praised Brigham Young and perhaps asked questions on how to join him in Utah.
Brigham Young lead the Mormon people from the Midwest to Utah, organized them, and sent them to establish colonies all over the west. The majority of the settlements were centered around Salt Lake City, which was (and is) the headquarters of the Church.
The city was founded in 1847 as Great Salt Lake City by a group of Mormon pioneers led by their prophet, Brigham Young.
Brigham Young led the first group of Mormon pioneers to Utah, and over the next 30 years was the leader of the church while hundreds more pioneers travelled to Utah. Since Brigham Young died in 1877, there have been many leaders of the Mormon church. While each of these leaders have lived in Utah, they lead the entire worldwide church, not just members in Utah.
