Autorenporträt
Charles Albert Murdock was an American politician and printer who lived from 1841 to 1928. He was a California State Representative, a member of the Board of Education of San Francisco, a Civil Service Commissioner, and a member of the Board of Supervisors. Today, he is mostly known for writing a biography and making beautiful books. Murdock was born in Massachusetts on January 26, 1841, and spent his early years in Boston. His dad moved to California in 1849, and Murdock did too in 1855. The family eventually met up again in Humboldt County, California. He was writing for the Humboldt Times by 1861. He went to San Francisco in 1864. In that place, he did well in the printing business. His house was planned by Ernest Coxhead, a builder and friend. Following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, he had to give up a large part of his printing business because the building and tools were destroyed. In 1915, he retired for good. Murdock wrote a lot of boring things (he talks about printing an order of checks in his autobiography), but his best work is what made him famous. This can be seen in issues of The Lark, a literary magazine in San Francisco, that were written with Frank Gelett Burgess.
