Brigham Young

Brigham Young (lahir 1 Juni 1801 – meninggal 29 Agustus 1877 pada umur 76 tahun) adalah seorang pemimpin pergerakan Orang-orang Suci dari Zaman Akhir dan presiden Gereja Yesus Kristus dari Orang-orang Suci Zaman Akhir sejak 1847 hingga kematiannya. Young juga merupakan gubernur pertama Teritori Utah, Amerika Serikat.

Young memiliki berbagai panggilan, yang populer adalah "Musa Amerika," (alternatifnya "Musa Modern" atau "Musa Mormon") karena, seperti figur Alkitab, dalam eksodus melalui gurun pasir, untuk mengunjungi tanah yang dijanjikan. Young juga dijuluki "Singa Tuhan" untuk kepribadiannya yang keras, dan sering dipangil "Brother Brigham" oleh orang-orang Mormon. Tujuan Young sangat kontroversial. Ketika membantu membuat agama besar, juga masuknya Teritori Utah ke Amerika Serikat, mempertimbangkan perannya dalam Perang Utah melawan pemerintah Amerika Serikat.
