Overview
Angry mobs had forced Brigham Young and his fellow Mormons out to Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois. As leader of the Mormon Church, Young needed a safe place for his followers to live and worship freely. So with more than 5,000 Mormon settlers, Young crossed prairies, climbed mountains, and overcame hardship to reach his Promised Land-an unsettled region near the Great Salt Lake of Utah. Sometimes called the "American Moses," author William R. Sanford and Carl R. Green explore the amazing life of this great pioneer.
