Brigham Young was the second prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church). He was the prophet from 1847 to 1877.
At the death of Joseph Smith, his followers were torn as to who should be the next prophet. Some thought it should be Joseph Smith's son. Others thought it was Sidney Rigdon. Others thought it was James Strang. Others thought there would be no more prophets. The majority followed Brigham Young, who was the most senior Apostle.
Many of those who chose to follow Brigham said that when he spoke, he briefly appeared to look and sound like Joseph Smith. They also chose him because of his high position in the Church (the others who claimed to be the next prophet were never Apostles, aside from Sidney Rigdon). Those who followed the other men formed their own groups, many of which still exist today.
