Davis Sr., who had gotten ill while serving in Liberia. Young had mentored Davis while serving in the Ninth Cavalry. From 1912-1915, Young served as the Military Attachรฉ in Liberia. Young was responsible for reconstructing the Liberian Frontier Force. He also created maps and helped build roads in Liberia that are still being used today.
The Crisis Magazine was a popular magazine in the early 1900s and was created by W.E.B. Du Bois in 1910. His goal was to "set forth those facts and arguments which show the danger of race prejudice, particularly as manifested today toward colored people.”
In 1894, Captain Young became friends with Du Bois while they both taught at Wilberforce University in Wilberforce, Ohio. Young served a detached service assignment there as the professor of Military Science and Tactics until 1898.
