Hello readers— I’m happy to report that the espionage history of Monroe, WI native William Wesley Young was just featured in UWAlumni.com’s “Ask Abe” column:

It’s great to share Monroe’s history with UWAlumni’s thousands of readers! UW Alumni with an eye for intelligence may also be interested in the university’s Bureau of Visual Instruction and its connection with the Young family’s Monroe pastor, Rev. Noble Earle McLaughlin.

Other posts covering William Wesley Young’s involvement with the “astroturfed” 1910s-era NYC “Humanitarian Cult” and Henry Ford; his involvement in early cinema; and his relation to submarine development in the Great Lakes can be found here.

Happy reading!
