Why did Brigham Young lead the Mormons to Utah?

Brigham Young became president of the Mormon church when Joseph Smith died. The Mormons needed a safe place to practice their religion. The Mormons had been kicked out of every other place they had tried to settle. At the time, Utah was a part of Mexico, and they wanted to escape the United States government. Also, before Joseph Smith died he told Brigham that the Saints would eventually have to move west to the Rocky Mountains. Because every where else that Mormons tried to settle were chased out and abused. So the Mormons went west to seek a place where they could practice their religion without being provoked.

What is the Brigham Young Historical Park famous for?

The Brigham Young Historical Park, just east of the headquarters of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is a park on land that originally was part of Brigham Young's farm. Brigham Young was the second President of that church, and considered a prophet by many, often referred to by Mormons and non-Mormons alike as "The American Moses." Young oversaw the settlement not only of Utah, where he was governor, but of the lands that eventually became Arizona, Idaho, Nevada, and much of Southern California. Young's cities are still examples of the early master-planned communities--Salt Lake City being famous for having been originally constructed in the 1850s with six-lane roads and elevator shafts.

What type of education did brigham young have?

Brigham Young lived at a time and place when formal education was quite rare - most children learned to read and write from their parents and then were apprenticed into a career or profession. He learned to read, write, and do basic math as a child, most likely from both his mother and local school teachers when they were available. He then learned the trades of carpentry and blacksmithing to earn a living. Although Brigham Young had very little formal education, he played a part in the founding of two universities (the University of Uah and Brigham Young University) and encouraged his children and the Mormon people to obtain as much education as they could, both through schooling and through independent study.
