Given the lively discussion of late regarding Brigham Young's questionable prophetic utterances (e.g. Adam-God, blood atonement, Blacks, moon-men, etc.), does there exist a BY biography in the same realm as "Rough Stone Rolling"? It is difficult to distinguish the true character of BY - was he a benevolent despot or just a self serving egotist? References please?

I think Brigham will be what-the-hell ever you want him to be. From what I have read the stories are that varied. I think it was Mark Twain who said "Alfred Cummings might be governor, but Brigham Young is King!"

How many of his "teachings" that we have record of were actually handwritten by him? How many of his teachings recorded by others were reviewed by him for accuracy? |

However, I am probably more interested in the history than the teachings.
