Publisher's Synopsis
Memoirs of John R. Young: Utah Pioneer 1847 is a classic American history autobiography by John Young. "Words are the soul's ambassadors who go Abroad, upon her errands to and fro, They are the chief expounders of the mind, And correspondence kept 'twixt all mankind." They place in memory's clasp, truths we have read, Beautiful words, of both living and dead, Helping us cherish, and nurse as they grow, Elysian plants, from thoughts that we sow. Bringing to memory, and waking to life The form, and face of a child, or wife, The choicest treasures to mortals given, The golden thread that leads to heaven.
