Brigham Young

Brigham Young was a significant figure in the history of the Latter-day Saints, playing a pivotal role in the expansion of the movement into the American West. Born on June 1, 1801, in Whitingham, Vermont, he became a convert to Mormonism and a close associate of Joseph Smith, the movement's founder. Following Smith's death, Young assumed leadership of the LDS Church and led its members to the Salt Lake Valley in present-day Utah. His vision and leadership were instrumental in the establishment of Salt Lake City and the surrounding communities. He passed away on August 29, 1877. more

“There are multitudes of pure and holy spirits waiting to take tabernacles, now what is our duty. To prepare tabernacles for them; to take a course that will not tend to drive those spirits into families of the wicked, where they will be trained in wickedness, debauchery, and every species of crime. It is the duty of every righteous man and woman to prepare tabernacles for all the spirits they can. This is the reason why the doctrine of plurality of wives was revealed, that the noble spirits which are waiting for tabernacles might be brought forth.”

“Now hear it, O inhabitants of the earth, Jew and Gentile, Saint and sinner! When our father Adam came into the garden of Eden, he came into it with a celestial body, and brought Eve, one of his wives, with him. He helped to make and organize this world. He is Michael, the Archangel, the Ancient of Days! about whom holy men have written and spoken -- He is our Father, and our God, and the only God with whom we have to do. Every man upon the earth, professing Christians or non professing, must hear it, and will know it sooner or later.”

“We do not wish incorrect and unsound doctrines to be handed down to posterity under the sanction of great names, to be received and valued by future generations as authentic and reliable, ... Errors in history and doctrine, if left uncorrected by us who are conversant with the events, and who are in a position to judge of the truth or falsity of the doctrines, would go to our children as though we had sanctioned and endorsed them.”
