This volume destroys once and for all the popular, but false image of Brigham Young as a tough, unspiritual colonizer who had no business calling himself a prophet of God. A very different man is found in his journal writings--a simple man who liked to work with his hands, a humble man constantly seeking guidance from his God, a strong man ready to wrestle or fight in defense of his friends, an intelligent man who could debate effectively with professors and lawyers, an affectionate man with many friends, and a loyal man who could be depended upon by his God and his people.
This volume is a compilation of the first person writings in Brigham Young's manuscript history. There has been no attempt to edit or rewrite. However, many of the repetitive or uneventful writings have been eliminated in order to fit Brigham Young's own story, in his own words, into a single volume.
