Young, who published his History of Chautauqua County in 1875, was born in Carlisle NY in March 1802. He taught school as a young man, then clerked in a store. In May 1830 he began publishing the Warsaw Sentinel. In January 1832 he bought the Republican Advocate of Batavia and merged the two newspapers. In April 1835 he sold the combined newspaper to D. D. Waite, so that when the American Citizen was begun under the auspices of the Genesee County Anti-Slavery Society, Young was able to accept their offer of the editorship. Christoper Densmore s list of Underground Railroad (UGRR) "agents" in Western New York includes Young as an "agent" based on the ascription in Wilbur Siebert s Underground Railroad from Slavery to Freedom (1898) , p.415. As of this writing in 2014, Young s name is prominent in the "Abolitionist Tour" offered by Warsaw NY, where a local Antislavery Society was formed in the 1830s. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
