EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph cartoon from 1858 depicts Brigham Young, the influential American Mormon leader of the 19th century. In this artwork, we see a unique perspective of Young as he charges towards United States troops from behind his breastworks. The artist skillfully captures the intensity and determination in Young's face as he fearlessly leads his people. The image is filled with intriguing details that provide insight into the time period and political climate. A woman, presumably Mrs. Young, stands beside him holding a baby while wearing a bonnet – symbolizing the importance of family within their community. A dog faithfully follows alongside them, emphasizing loyalty and unity among their followers. Intriguingly, there is also a man wielding a broom and bugler blowing on his instrument nearby - perhaps representing resistance against outside forces or calling for action. Additionally, an amusing touch is added with the presence of a pig in the foreground - possibly alluding to satirical commentary on polygamy or other controversial aspects associated with Mormonism at that time. Overall, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into an important moment in history when Brigham Young led his fellow Mormons through challenging times in Utah's Rocky Mountains. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of one man's leadership during turbulent times in America's westward expansion era.
