He was the right man, at the right place, at the right time. He was a great colonizer, who settled one of the largest regions in the United States. He was a spiritual leader of a struggling religious denomination. He was a political power broker, elected twice unanimously as governor of the Utah Territory. He was an economic planner, a political deal maker, and a family man. Brigham Young stands as a unique figure in the history of the nation -- not just that of Utah. No other leader in the country employed the variety of powers that Young exercised over the Utah Territory. KUED invites viewers to discover Brigham Young in a two-and-a-half hour biography from the makers of Utah: The Struggle for Statehood.
