Herbert “Herb” V. Young (b. 1887 - d. 1988) was born in Arizona. He was the son of Frank A. Young, one of the pioneer ranchers and cattlemen of the Salt River Valley. His wife’s name was Zalia and they had two children, Berton F. Young and Mrs. Geraldine (Young) Duvall, both of Houston, Texas. A second son, Herbert Jr., a fighter pilot, was shot down in the Southwest Pacific during World War II.
Hired in 1912, Herbert served 41 years and five months in Jerome with the mining organization that operated the United Verde Copper Company (U-V), first as the executive secretary to the head man, and then with the Phelps Dodge Corporation which took over U-V in 1935. He retired in 1953. He wrote "Ghost of Cleopatra Hill" that traces the mining and business history of Jerome, and "They came to Jerome: The Billion Dollar Copper Camp" that deals with the people and town of Jerome, published in 1972. An oral history about his ranching childhood and his work in mining was conducted November 12, 1974, tape number 1431, available at the Sharlot Hall Museum Archives.
He also was an able historian on Verde Valley history, an artist and a writer of western fiction.
