Brigham Young University is named for Brigham Young, the second president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He lead the Mormons to Utah. Education was always important to him, and he encouraged Mormons to get as much education as they could. He believed that there needed to be a university or an institution that gave a secular and religious knowledge to those in Utah, and it was Brigham Young who commissioned the start of the school.
Brigham Young, the second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was indeed attacked by his son-in-law, Phineas H. Young, on January 6, 1874. Phineas Young stabbed Brigham Young in the abdomen during an argument, causing serious injuries. Brigham Young eventually recovered from the attack, but the incident strained their relationship.
Yes she did. Stephanie Meyer graduated from a college named "Brigham Young University" with a degeree in English literature.
Brigham Young's bodyguard was a man named Daniel H. Wells. Wells served as a prominent leader within the LDS Church and played a significant role in the early settlement of Utah. He was responsible for Young's safety during a time of significant tension and hostility toward Mormons. Their close relationship exemplified the importance of protection and loyalty within the early Mormon community.
Brigham Young University Idaho was originally created in 1888 as Bannock Stake Acadamy. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a whole was the founder and sponsor of the school. The Church began many 'Stake Acadamies' around this time, as there were no public secondary schools available in the area. In 1903 the school was re-named Ricks Acadamy after the stake president, Thomas Ricks. Once the school became accredited by the state of Idaho (meaning it's diplomas were recognized by the state) in 1917, the school became Ricks College. It was renamed BYU Idaho in 2001.
Joseph Smith, Jr. organized the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) under the direction of Jesus Christ. After he was murdered, Brigham Young lead the majority of Church members to Utah and was there named the second president and prophet of the Church.
Utah was founded by Mormon Pioneers. They first arrived in the area in 1847, when it was part of Mexico. At the time they were led by Brigham Young. That being said Native Americans "founded" Utah long before.
In Utah, several places are named after famous explorers, reflecting the state's rich history of exploration. For instance, the city of Lehi is named after Lehi, a biblical figure and explorer mentioned in the Book of Mormon. Additionally, the Great Salt Lake is associated with the explorations of John C. Frémont. The Wasatch Mountains are named after a Native American term but became prominent during the explorations of pioneers like Brigham Young and others.
