Young had a variety of monikers, among the most popular of which is "The American Moses" http://www.lds.org/newsroom/showpackage/0%2C15367%2C3899-31--34-2-190%2C00.html, (sometimes "The Modern Moses" or "The Mormon Moses" http://overlandtrails.byu.edu/mapsessay.html) because, like the biblical figure, he led his followers in an often arduous "exodus" through a desert, to what they saw as a "promised land". He was also dubbed "The Lion of the Lord" for his bold personality.
