Brigham Young and His Mormon Empire is a historical book written by Frank J. Cannon that delves into the life and legacy of Brigham Young, the second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and the founder of Salt Lake City. The book explores Young's early life, his conversion to the LDS Church, his rise to leadership within the church, and his role in leading the Mormon pioneers to the Salt Lake Valley in 1847.Cannon also examines Young's tenure as the leader of the LDS Church, including his efforts to establish a theocratic government in Utah, his clashes with the federal government over issues such as polygamy and the practice of plural marriage, and his role in shaping the cultural and economic landscape of the American West.Throughout the book, Cannon provides a detailed and nuanced portrait of Young, highlighting both his strengths and his flaws as a leader. He also places Young's life and legacy in the context of broader historical trends, including the westward expansion of the United States, the rise of religious pluralism, and the tensions between federal and state power.Overall, Brigham Young and His Mormon Empire offers a comprehensive and engaging account of one of the most influential figures in American religious history, and sheds light on the complex and fascinating history of the LDS Church and its impact on the American West.1913.
