Brigham Young: American Moses
''Brigham Young: American Moses'' is a biography about Brigham Young by Dr. Leonard J. Arrington, published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1985.
==Production==
In 1979 Alfred A. Knopf published Arrington's well-received ''The Mormon Experience: A History of the Latter-day Saints'', and later that year contracted Arrington to also write a biography of Brigham Young. Until 1982, Arrington was Church Historian of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and had access to and drew upon diaries and letters not available to previous biographers to profile Brigham Young.〔(Brigham Young: American Moses )〕 In the book, Arrington critically examined a major period of Mormon history, though some reviews claimed he didn't cover enough of some intriguing aspects.
In 1995, Arrington explained his reasoning behind the subtitle ''American Moses'':
Brigham was the same sort of a leader as Moses in serving people for a long period of time, in achieving their goal of entering into a kingdom blessed by God. It -- there's no -- no trick reason why I should have used American Moses. I thought Moses was a person understood by nearly everybody, and that Brigham was something for us that Moses was for the people of Israel. He led his people figuratively and quite literally, and they survived because of that leadership and their faith.
