Most people are aware of Brigham Young as a pivotal figure in American religious and frontier history. But Brigham is also often misunderstood, seen as a larger-than-life caricature rather than as a man.
Who actually was Brigham? As a man, as a father, as a husband—as a prophet?
BECOMING BRIGHAM, a video web series, debunks fictions as well as providing sometimes surprising new insights into the real Brigham Young.
In Episode 1, hosts John Wilson and Camrey Fox, along with Professor Dan Peterson, visit the Carthage Jail to discuss a theory by some that Brigham Young was behind the death of Joseph Smith.
