The Sex Life of Brigham Young

About this book

The Sex Life of Brigham Young by Kishkuman Cooper is a provocative and unflinching exploration of the private world of one of America's most controversial religious leaders. Brigham Young, the second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and architect of the Mormon settlement in Utah, was as famous for his religious authority and organizational genius as he was for his extraordinary domestic arrangements. Cooper's work takes readers behind the public image to examine the complexities of Young's plural marriages, family life, and the cultural system of polygamy that defined much of early Mormon society.

Far from a sensationalist exposé, the book situates Young's relationships within the broader context of 19th-century Mormon doctrine, community structure, and the challenges of forging a new society in the American West. It reveals both the difficulties and accommodations of managing a household that spanned dozens of wives and scores of children, highlighting the tensions between religious conviction, personal desire, and social responsibility.

Cooper writes with sharp wit and fearless candor, blending historical record with interpretive analysis to create a narrative that is as entertaining as it is enlightening. The Sex Life of Brigham Young invites readers to reconsider not only the man himself but also the cultural milieu that shaped—and was shaped by—his extraordinary life. It remains a striking contribution to the literature on Mormon history and the intersection of faith, power, and intimacy.
