Kyle, in 2016 in Books: You don’t think about Brigham Young as an entrepreneur, but he literally built a large portion of the economy of the west, regardless of what you think of him. He was engaged in so many different business ventures and colonization efforts that it’s hard to say he was a “this” or a “that.”
