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

“My own doctrine of organization is that any body of people coming together for a purpose (whatever it may be) should consist of persons wholly wedded to said purpose and should consist of nobody else. If the purpose be Cannibalism (preference for Ham a la Capitalism) then nobody but a Cannibal should be admitted. There should be plenty of discussion and disagreement as to how and the means but none whatever as to ends.”
