∙ 14y agoBrigham Young left Illinois because the government asked he and the church members to leave the state. They went to Utah because Joseph Smith had taught several years earlier that they would eventually have to move to the Rocky Mountains.

∙ 12y agoHe spent some time walking around the valley surveying the area, and within the first few days had stuck his walking stick into the dirt and declared it the place for the temple. That spot is where the cornerstone of the Salt Lake Temple stands today. He also assisted in organizing the people into groups, searching for supply sources and finding home sites.
This is depicted in a church produced film called "Mountain of the Lord". A link to the segment showing this scene is at the "Related Link" below.

∙ 14y agoHe didn't. The Utah territory was already known in Brigham Young's time, he led the Mormons there. It was not yet a state at the time.

How did brigham young found byu?
I don't know if you could really say that Brigham Young founded BYU. BYU originally began as an extension of the University of Utah, then called the University of Deseret. Brigham Young had purchased a plot of land in Provo to be used for that extension school. In 1876, the Provo school officially broke off from the University of Deseret to become "Brigham Young Acadamy", which was a K-12 school. In the 1890's the Acadamy began to teach some college-level courses. It wasn't until 1903 that Brigham Young Acadamy was split into Brigham Young High School and Brigham Young University. Brigham Young High School was closed in 1968.
What were Brigham Young's weaknesses?
I would say that Brigham Young's biggest weakness was that he was a tad overzealous at times. He was a great leader, but sometimes took his authority to the extreme. Most of the 'extreme' things that he asked his people to do were rarely obeyed, such as avoiding loud laughter at the theatre and wearing the 'Deseret Costume'.
Did Brigham Young say the church was a fairy tale?
No he did not say that it was a fairytale would you believe that and ask this question?
What did brigham young invent?
Brigham Young isn't known for inventing anything. Some say that he started the first department store, ZCMI, but he didn't invent any new devices or objects.
How many men died when brigham young was alive?
Brigham Young lived for 76 years. Because many places in the world (and even the US) did not keep accurate death records at the time, it would be impossible to know how many men died over the course of his lifetime. It's safe to say that several million men died in the 76 years that Brigham Young was alive.
Why did Fanny Brooks work with Brigham Young?
I don't know if you could say that she worked with Brigham Young, but she met with him and he agreed to let her continue running her boarding house in downtown Salt Lake City because of the honesty and integrity of her family. She did so because Brigham Young had encouraged Mormons to not do any business with people who were not members of the Church, which threatened to close down her business.
Who contributed more to the Mormon movement Joseph Smith or Brigham Young?
Brigham Young! He had way more children than Joseph Smith. Thus, Young had more Mormon descendants to further the Mormon movement . Brigham also didn't die as early as Joseph Smith, giving him more time to reign over "Zion"ANOTHER ANSWER:As there wouldn't be a Mormon movement without Joseph Smith, I'm going to say that he contributed more... he started the whole thing!
Do you say you arrived at the restaurant or you arrived to the restaurant?
In English, you would say I arrived at the restaurant.
Did Brigham young say early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise?
No that quote comes from Poor Richard's Almanac by Benjamin Franklin
What did the Mormons have to do before Utah could be proclaimed a state?
Some say that the Mormons had to denounce polygamy before Utah became a state. This may or may not be true, as the plans to make Utah a state were in action before the Church officially denounced polygamy. Either way, Mormons arrived there in 1847, Utah became a territory in 1850, Mormons ended polygamy in 1890, and Utah became a state in 1896.
Who was the most important person on the Mormon trail and why?
I suppose it's a matter of opinion, but I would say Brigham Young. To choose anyone else would be like saying Moses wasn't the most important person in bringing the Israelites out of Egyptian captivity. Brigham Young was the leader of the church, he is the one who led the Saints west. He is the one that declared they had arrived at the "right place" when they arrived in what is now Salt Lake City. He organized and orchestrated the other groups that came from various parts of the United States, Canada, and Europe, and made sure the Saints in Salt Lake were ready to receive the new arrivals and help them get on their feet. He suggested the poor members in Europe attempt to cross the plains using economical handcarts, rather than expensive wagon and ox teams. He sent the rescuers and supply wagons to help those handcart companies when they were in distress. He also came up with the "Perpetual Immigration Fund" to help those that were too poor to fund their own trips to Salt Lake. I would dare say that without Brigham Young, there wouldn't have been a Mormon Trail.
How do you say Utah in French?
