EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1877 showcases Brigham Young, an influential American Mormon leader and the founder of Salt Lake City. Known for his strong leadership skills and unwavering dedication to his faith, Young played a pivotal role in shaping the history of the Latter Day Saints movement in the United States. The image portrays Young with a dignified presence, reflecting his position as a revered religious figure. His visionary spirit led him to establish Salt Lake City as a sanctuary for Mormons seeking refuge from persecution. This city would later become the capital of Utah. Tragically, Brigham Young's life was cut short by Cholera morbus, a severe gastrointestinal illness that claimed countless lives during that era. Despite this untimely demise in 1877, his legacy lived on through the thriving community he built and the enduring impact he had on Mormonism. This historic wood engraving provides us with a glimpse into an important chapter of American religious history. It serves as a reminder of Brigham Young's significant contributions to both his religion and society at large. Preserved over time, this print allows us to reflect upon the remarkable achievements and challenges faced by this extraordinary leader who left an indelible mark on Salt Lake City and beyond.
