    Brigham Young

    Apparently there is at least one other person with a university named after him who may have done worse things than Brigham Young did.



    Why isn't anyone writing about the new Brigham Young biography? I guess even on Cuf they prefer apologetics.
    When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

    Because I highly respect your honest opinions on LDS doctrinal and historical matters, I'm eagerly awaiting your review before deciding if it's worth my investment of time and money.

      It is kind of sad that someone of SU's intelligence, WIT, compassion, let's Brigham Young dwell so deeply in his inner thoughts.

        (A). If you care so much why aren't you writing about it.

        (B). Several of us already did.

        Getting rusty in your old age.
        Awesomeness now has a name. Let me introduce myself.

            Somewhere in The Foyer. Your search function works as well as mine, I am guessing.

              lol. Are you going to read it? If so, it would make it the second book on the church you have read in 40 years.

              Definitely on my reading list. I have heard good things about it.

                It was excellent. I didn't come away with a deep abiding love for BY though. More of a humorous curiosity.

                  So JL didn't notice either. Figures, since we're the same age.

                    No, I did. UD and his amigo did a podcast and the book that was discussed in a thread somewhere.

                    But admittedly, my memory is going down the toilet.
