The Last Days of President Brigham Young

President Brigham Young left St. George in January 1877 with renewed life and determination. Over the next eight months, he traveled the length and breadth of the territory, setting the Church in order. As soon as that mission was complete, he returned to Salt Lake, took sick, and passed away. The course that President Young set for the Church in the summer of 1877 is still largely the Church's plotted course to this day.
