Born on December 5, 1869, in Muscatine, Iowa, Butler showed a penchant for storytelling early in his life. His writing career began at the age of twenty-five when his short story, 'Pigs Is Pigs,' gained national acclaim for its comedic narrative and was a defining moment for his future in writing, solidifying his place in the canon of American humor literature.
