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
