William H. Doughty started a conservative lifestyle community, the Meadeau View Institute, and Liberty Village in Southern Utah from 1986 to the early 1990s.
He is also mentor to Shanon Brooks[2] and Oliver DeMille, past presidents of George Wythe.
On January 25, 1994, the Utah Division of Real Estate issued a cease-and-desist order to Doughty, ordering him to stop marketing the Mammoth land and timeshares at Liberty Village, because the offerings weren't registered with the division.
As a result, the community collapsed and contributors began legal action against Doughty in an effort to recoup their losses.
He wrote the book Track II to the 21st Century and at one time issued a monthly periodical entitled "Vision".
