The Journal of Brigham - His Own Story in his own words

  This volume destroys once and for all the popular, but false image of Brigham Young as a tough, unspiritual colonizer who had no business calling himself a prophet of God. A very different man is found in his journal writings--a simple man who liked to work with his hands, a humble man constantly seeking guidance from his God, a strong man ready to wrestle or fight in defense of his friends, an intelligent man who could debate effectively with professors and lawyers, an affectionate man who could be depended upon by his God and his people.

The writings covering the early years, 1801 to 1844, were taken primarily from handwritten diaries and were edited under President Young's direction to correct spelling and grammar.
