Brigham Young Monument, Bronze sculpture at Main and South Temple Streets, Salt Lake City, United States.
The monument presents a 25-foot tall bronze statue of Brigham Young, with Native American and fur trapper figures decorating the granite base.
Cyrus Edwin Dallin created this monument for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair before its permanent installation at the intersection in Salt Lake City.
Bronze bas-reliefs on the monument depict pioneer families and include a plaque listing the names of settlers who reached Salt Lake Valley in 1847.
The monument stands on the north sidewalk near underground parking facilities at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in downtown Salt Lake City.
The base incorporates contrasting figures: an eastward-facing Native American and a westward-facing fur trapper, representing the land's earlier inhabitants.
