About the author
Born in Astoria, Oregon, in 1889, Stanley Paul Young studied at the University of Oregon, where he earned a degree in mining engineering in 1911, and later completed a master's degree in biology. His path shifted from geology and engineering toward wildlife, a change that shaped the rest of his career.
Young spent more than four decades working for the U.S. government in wildlife management and research. He became especially associated with the study of North American mammals and wrote widely on wolves, coyotes, bobcats, and other wild animals.
He is best remembered for books such as The Wolf in North American History and The Wolves of North America, written with Edward A. Goldman. His work helped bring scientific detail and vivid storytelling together, making him an important figure for readers interested in natural history and the changing relationship between people and wild predators.
