Wooded Groves to Marble Temples, The Five Mormon Prophets from Nauvoo. Book One, Brigham Young

When Joseph Smith, Jr. and his brother Hyrum were killed at the Carthage, Hancock County, Illinois Jail on June 27, 1844, a struggle for leadership of the Latter Day Saints (The Mormons) Church developed. At that time in Nauvoo there were living five men who would eventually lead the church. It was Brigham Young who stepped into the void and followed Joseph Smith, Jr. as President of the Church. This is his story, Book One, Brigham Young.
