Although he was a grandson of Brigham Young, Kimball Young was not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and often criticized the Mormon faith.

Young held a variety of university teaching positions, was chair of sociology at Queens College and Northwestern University in the 1940s, and served as president of the American Sociological Association in 1945. He was also the author of a number of psychology and sociology texts, including Source book for social psychology (1927), Social attitudes (1931), and An introductory sociology (1934). Young died in Provo on September 1, 1972.

The short-lived Salt Lake Daily Review newspaper was published by Frank Kenyon and M. Fenton between August 1871 and February 1872. Although ostensibly dedicated to mining and agricultural news, it was largely a vehicle for anti-Mormon sentiments and attacks on Brigham Young in pariticular. It replaced the Corrine Journal, which had been published at Corrine, Utah, the self-proclaimed "Gentile Capital of Utah."
