| Mahonri MacIntosh Young was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1877. He was the grandson of Brigham Young, the second leader of the Church of Latter Day Saints and former Governor of Utah. Earning his tuition and travel expenses as an illustrator, Young attended the Art Students League, returning to Utah in 1901. With a modest inheritance from his grandfather, Young was afforded further study at the Academie Julian in Paris, where he changed his focus from painting to sculpture. Young returned to the states, settling in New York where he was very much in demand for his works. He was made an associate of the National Academy of design in 1912.
