Excerpt from Improvement Era, Vol. 6: June, 1903The story of Brigham Young's life has often been told, the achievements of his genius have been dwelt upon in eloquence which I cannot hope to match, his character analyzed by men who had the blessed advantage of life-long personal association with him. I only know him through the secondary means of what others have said of him, of what he himself in part has said, and the things which he accomplished in his life. My personal remembrance of him is most vague, merely the outline of a memory, and only such a memory as a boy treasures up of a great man, whom he saw only at a distance, and with whom he never shook hands, or spoke a word, but who enshrined in his heart the few glimpseshe got of him from afar, as only the quick spirit of a boy treasures up a few bright memories of his childhood days. It is only, then, from second ary sources that I have formed such impressions as I possess of the life and character of Brigham Young.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
