Cover image: Brigham Young, copy print (1934) of daguerrotype, ca. 1846, courtesty Church Archives, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Young family members believe this daguerrotype, attributed to Lucian R. Foster, is the earliest extant image of Brigham. However, there is some debate among historians about whether this is actually Young. See Richard Neitzel Holzapfel and R. Q. Shupe, Brigham Young: Images of a Mormon Prophet (Salt Lake City: Eagle Gate; Provo, Utah: Religious Studies Center, Brigham Young University, 2000), 91.
