40 Ways to Look at Brigham Young: A New Approach to a Remarkable Man (Soft Cover Book) by Chad M. Orton and William W. Slaughter
Item #1-59038-786-3
Craftsman. Missionary, Apostle. Failed linguist. "American Moses." Polygamist. Territorial governor. The "Lion of the Lord." Steward. Brigham Young was all of these things, and much more.

In this fascinating and enlightening book, historians Chad M. Orton and William W. Slaughter give us forty different views of Brigham Young, from his early days as a raw convert and missionary in the British Isles to the Mormon exodus and founding of the state of Utah, and from his birth in the depths of poverty to the widely varied reactions to his death.

In many ways this is Brigham Young as few have seen him: the feisty yet ever faithful and fearless prophet of God; the groundbreaking Indian agent; the husband of dozens and the father of scores; the Renaissance man; the prime mover behind the rescue of the Willie and Martin handcart companies; the steadfast and unbending defender of the faith.

As these forty ways reveal, Brigham Young was not only a remarkable and often misunderstood individual, but also a man whose powerful faith and testimony sustained him as the second prophet of the Restoration, a man whose devotion and strong personality were inextricably bound to the kingdom of God.
