Brigham Young

Brigham Young did not start any religions. He was the second leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) which was founded by Joseph Smith, Jr. He led the Mormons from Illinois to Utah after Joseph Smith was murdered.

Brigham Young lived in Vermont from his birth in 1801 until he joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in 1832. He traveled throughout New England and Canada as a missionary for the Church until 1835. He then moved to Kirtland, Ohio; Nauvoo, Illinois; and Salt Lake City, Utah with the Church.

Brigham Young did not do anything to rupture his appendix. Appendicitis (which causes a ruptured appendix if left untreated) can be caused by several things which happen naturally in the body, most often something you ate getting stuck and causing infection.

Brigham Young was appointed the first governor of the Utah Territory by President Fillmore in 1850, and served until 1858. The territorial capital of Utah was Fillmore, and it was placed in Millard County. It remains a thriving small town.

No. He was living in Salt Lake City at the time and died on August 29,1877 from a ruptured appendix, having led the church up until the time of his death. His death followed an address he gave at the Council House in Salt Lake City less than a week earlier.

Jim Bridger died on July 17, 1881 at the age of 77.

Brigham Young is buried at 140 East 1st Avenue in Salt Lake City, Utah in the Brigham Young Family Cemetary, near the Brigham Young Historic Park.

Brigham Young was an American leader in the Latter Day Saint movement and a settler of the Western United States. He was the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the LDS Church, he founded Salt Lake City, and he served as the first governor of the Utah Territory

After Joseph Smith was murdered, there was some controversy as to who would become the leader of the church. This is called the Mormon Succession Crisis. The Church gathered to have a conference and discuss what should be done. Already, many favored Brigham Young as he was close to the prophet and was the senior Apostle. However, Joseph's wife and several other prominent church figures disagreed. At the conference, some claimed that Brigham spoke with the voice of Joseph and understood this to be a sign that Brigham should be the next leader.

When Brigham advocated moving west, most of the church went with him. However, some, including Joseph's wife and children, stayed behind and formed the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (now called the Community of Christ) while others formed different independent branches. Some of these independent branches still exist and are colloquially known by the names of their early leaders (i.e. Strangite, Bickertonite, Cutlerite).

After arriving in Salt Lake City, Brigham Young was officially ordained as the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Since that time, the senior Apostle (usually the President of the Quorum) has been considered the rightful successor.

After the prophet Joseph Smith died, Brigham Young became the second president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). Brigham Young lead the Mormons west and guided them in settling what is now known as Utah. He is known for being a polygamist (having multiple wives), a practice that the LDS church no longer supports. Under his direction Salt Lake City was constructed, as well as a number of temples in the western United States (Salt Lake City Temple is the most well known among them). He is also noteworthy as the first governor of Utah. Up until his death he was one of the most revered of men for his faith in Joseph Smith and truth of the restored gospel.

Brigham Young was the second president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church). He lead the majority of Church members away from persecution in Illinois to settle in Utah.

Brigham Young grew up in Vermont, USA.

He was the second prophet after the church was remade

Most abusers grew up in an environment of abuse while young (yet 1/3 of them did not.) The abuser could have been spoiled (perhaps an only child or only son) and some could have been abused physically or emotionally by one parent or even both parents. A child has no control over such a situation so they live in fear and live in a fantasy type world to deal with this miserable situation. As the child starts to grow so does the resentment. Once out of the home they have known no other way to live and many men don't even realize they have a problem of abusing women. Women can also be abusive for the very same reasons. They can strike and lash out doing mental and physical damage to a man. Most men are brought up not to hit women so men of abusive wives often carry scars of war on their bodies. This happens more often than many people realize. As most parents know the important "molding years" is up to 6 (it's more) and children up to 12 are very impressionable. Children are basically little copy cats and react to the way their parents act as they are their mentors until they leave the home. Marcy

Brigham Young was married 55 times, although he only had a marriage relationship with 16 of them. The others he was responsible to care for temporally but he did not live with them, have children with them, or even see them often.

Because he had a vision from God that this was the place to settle

he was very nice to them; he fed them and was kind to them. there's a song that says "brother brigham says: 'treat the Indians fair; they're cheaper to feed than fight!'"

Brigham Young proposed a state called "Deseret", which included all of Utah and parts of Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, and Arizona. He often refered to the area as Deseret or Zion.
