| biography:
| Writer, born in New York City, New York, USA. He studied at Yale (1896 BA) before becoming a stockbroker and partner in his father's firm (1898). Soon after his service in the Spanish-American War (1898), he became progressively crippled by a form of arthritis. Forced to withdraw from the stockbrokerage business, he devoted himself to writing and illustrating. He wrote book reviews, stories, and verse, and was co-founder of the Yale Press, but is most famous for his humorous books based on his childhood memories, notably Life With Father (1935). |
