Autorenporträt
Elbert Green Hubbard was an American author, editor, artist, and philosopher who was born June 19, 1856, and died May 7, 1915. He was born in Hudson, Illinois, and did well as a traveling salesman for the Larkin Soap Company when he was young. Most people know Hubbard as the person who started the Roycroft artisan village in East Aurora, New York. Roycroft was a major part of the Arts and Crafts movement. Some of the many things Hubbard wrote were Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great, which was published in fourteen volumes, and A Message to Garcia, a short story. The RMS Lusitania sank off the coast of Ireland on May 7, 1915, by a German submarine. He and his second wife, Alice Moore Hubbard, were on board. In 1856, Silas Hubbard and Juliana Frances Read had a child named Hubbard. He was born in Bloomington, Illinois. In the fall of 1855, his parents moved from Buffalo, New York, where his father worked as a doctor, to Bloomington. Silas moved his family to Hudson, Illinois the next year because he was having a hard time settling down in Bloomington, where there were already a lot of well-known doctors.
