Historical or Biographical Note
S. Hall Young was born in Butler, Pennsylvania, he graduated from the University of Wooster in Ohio and the Western Theological
Seminary in Allegheny, Pennsylvania and was ordained by the Presbyterian Church. He went to Fort Wrangel, Alaska as a missionary
and explorer, organized the first Protestant Church in Alaska, held pastorates in California, Illinois, Iowa, and Ohio and
was later sent to the Klondike. In 1879 and again in 1880 he accompanied John Muir when he discovered Glacier Bay, Alaska.
During a mountain climb on Mount Glenora near the Stikine River, he almost fell to his death after dislocating both arms and
was only saved from a narrow ledge when John Muir pulled him to safety with his teeth. This story is detailed by John Muir
and Young in multiple subsequent publications. In 1904, he established the First Presbyterian Church in the new town of Fairbanks.
He was appointed superintendent of Presbyterian missions in Alaska. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._Hall_Young
