Isaac N. Young
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Isaac Newton Young was a Shaker from New Lebanon, New York. He kept detailed records of his life with the Shakers, and more than four thousand pages are known to have survived. They constitute a major historical document.[1]
His A Short Abridgement of the Rules of Music, published in 1843, was the first historically notable collection of Shaker music to be published.[2]
