Religious leader (1801–1877) who became leader of the Mormon Church in 1844 after its founder, Joseph Smith, was shot and killed by a mob of angry opponents. Young led the mass migration of Mormons to the Great Salt Lake Valley in Utah, establishing the church’s stronghold in that state. By the time of Young’s death, the Mormon population in Utah had reached 140,000, and the leader’s legacy included 27 wives and 56 children. Four Valley notes, each measuring 3.75 x 2, all dated January 20, 1849. The notes, printed on white bond paper, are in $.50, $1, $2, and $3 denominations. Each note is embossed with the 1.5? diameter official seal of the Twelve Apostles. The fifty cent note is signed in full, “Brigham Young,” with the remaining three signed “B. Young.” Each note is also signed by H. C. Kimball, Thos. Bullock, and by the bearer, N. K. Whitney. In fine, crisp condition, with some scattered mild toning.
