Blaine Wilcox Carved wood, 2001
 Few Latterday Saints have had more influence on the Church and the world than Brigham Young. His colonizing efforts are unsurpassed by anyone in modern times. Through his leadership he guided a persecuted, downtrodden people, and helped make a barren wasteland "blossom as a rose." This handcarved pine sculpture was completed during 2001, the 200th anniversary of Brigham Young's birth. It shows him as a young, vigorous, dynamic leader and colonizer with the vision of taking the Saints to their promised land. |
