How did brigham young found byu?

I don't know if you could really say that Brigham Young founded BYU. BYU originally began as an extension of the University of Utah, then called the University of Deseret. Brigham Young had purchased a plot of land in Provo to be used for that extension school. In 1876, the Provo school officially broke off from the University of Deseret to become "Brigham Young Acadamy", which was a K-12 school. In the 1890's the Acadamy began to teach some college-level courses. It wasn't until 1903 that Brigham Young Acadamy was split into Brigham Young High School and Brigham Young University. Brigham Young High School was closed in 1968.

Would Joseph Smith approve of the changes Bringham Young made to the LDS church?

Brigham Young actually didn't make many changes to the Church. Everything that Brigham Young did was in response to previous instruction given by Joseph Smith. For example, Brigham Young moved the Church to Utah because Joseph Smith prophesied in 1842 that the saints would find peace in the Rocky Mountains. Brigham Young expanded the practice of polygamy, but Joseph Smith had preached in favor of the practice as early as 1831 (polygamy officially began in 1843, still with Joseph Smith's approval). Brigham Young also expanded the practice of consecration (the 'United Order'), which Joseph Smith taught in 1834. (The practice is also found in the Bible and the Book of Mormon.) Brigham Young also expanded temple building (begun by Joseph Smith) and performed temple ordinances, which were given to him by Joseph in 1842.


Why did the Mormons settle near the Great Salt Lake?

Well, he didn't find Utah, it was already there and he knew how to get there. He didn't found Utah either - the area was called Territory of Deseret until after Brigham's death. Utah became a state in 1896, but Brigham Young died in 1877. Brigham Young moved to the area because the Mormons had been kicked out of their homes in Missouri and Illinois. Joseph Smith had previously said that they would find peace in the Rocky Mountains, so Brigham lead the people there.

Did Brigham young castrate his daughter?

No, that would be impossible. Females cannot be castrated, because castration is the act of removing the testicles. Testicles are only found on male genitalia. Brigham Young would not have supported any act which prevented an individual from being able to "multiply and replenish the earth", and certainly would not allow any of his children to undergo such a procedure unless it was intended as a life-saving operation due to cancer or infection.
