I am not attempting to justify Brigham Young's rhetorical devices. Obviously there were those who could not easily make a distinction between rhetoric and reality. As I have indicated earlier, Saints who lived in rural areas away from the stabilizing influence of Wilford Woodruff and other church leaders were especially prone to fanaticism.
