Description:From the publisher: The Complete Discourses of Brigham Young (5 book series) Richard S. Van Wagoner This five-volume series makes available every knownpublished and previously unpublished sermon (discourse, speech, or publicteaching) of Brigham Young, second president of the LDS Church. The texts aredrawn from various manuscript collections at LDS Church Archives: Brigham YoungAddresses, Brigham Young Minutes, Brigham Young Diaries, Brigham Young Officeand Secretary Journals, Thomas Bullock Minutes, Willard Richards Diary, John D.Lee Journals, and Heber C. Kimball Journals, as well as from the “History ofBrigham Young,” “Journal History of the Church,” Deseret News, History of theChurch, Journal of Discourses, and Millennial Star. Even those who are very familiar with Young’s life andteachings may be surprised to hear him say that God removed Elder Parley P.Pratt from his mortal existence because Pratt had committed adultery (“bloodwas spilt for adultery”), that Latter-day Saints should not eat pork and shouldprobably refrain from meat altogether (“the use of beef, mutton, and porkshould be dispensed with entirely”), and so on. Nevertheless, as Van Wagonersays of the collection, “As I worked on these transcripts, my esteem for PresidentYoung grew. His facility for language and ability to address complex issues onthe fly rank him among the most able preachers and, as Utah’s governor, mosttalented politicians of the day—just as capable, I think, as any U.S. presidentof his time.”
