A note about how I approached this list of church history entries; you will notice important events may have multiple entries. For example, in today's post, the birth of Brigham Young was mentioned six times. This is because of the 70+ chronologies I used, six of them mention the birth of Brigham Young. Joseph Smith's birth will have many more. Rather than edit out all but one entry, I let each chronology speak for itself, and allow the duplicate entries to emphasize importance of the event.
On some occasions, multiple entries on a single event will illuminate how individual authors view or interpret an event differently. Additionally it is interesting who will choose to disregard an event, or who may choose to emphasize an obscure point.
