About the author

Elbert Hubbard

1856–1915

A witty American essayist and publisher, he turned the Roycroft community in East Aurora, New York, into a center of Arts and Crafts design and independent publishing. He is still widely remembered for sharp, quotable pieces like "A Message to Garcia" and for the dramatic end to his life aboard the Lusitania.
