The Great Train Robbery. Just about remember it (I was 6 at the time). There was a lot of sympathy for the driver they coshed who never recovered his full mental capacity. Had it been left to the public I think they would have exacted some medieval form of capital retribution.

For a time Brigham Young lived less than a mile from where I live now in the UK. The thatched cottage on the outskirts of the village of Maxstoke in Warwickshire is named Sky Cottage.
Brigham Young held services in a still standing farmers barn. He was eventually chased out of the area by staunch Church of England members.
When we get occasional visits from Mormons, the vast majority have no idea about Brigham Young’s connection with our village all those years ago.

Actually the mormons claim he did foresee it since he at one time said he will go “like a lamb to the slaughter”. Secondly, he was not murdered as the mormons claim. He was in jail, had a gun smuggled in by his visitors and he shot a guard after which he was shot and killed

I think you meant to use the word “Evangelistic” instead of “Evangelical”.
