Read how William Alma Young's ancestors were brave early American Settlers and fighters of the British during the Revolutionary war, while sadly, William Alma Young's legacy is involvement in the cowardly cold blooded killing of unarmed men, women and children in Mountain Meadows, Utah.
The very interesting and well written Young Family History is written by Gary Dean Young, ggg-grandson.
