                            Introduction
======================================================================
Hutchins Harry Hapgood (1869-1944) was an American journalist, author,
and anarchist.


                          Life and career
======================================================================
Hapgood was born to Charles Hutchins Hapgood (1836-1917) and Fanny
Louise (Powers) Hapgood (1846-1922) and grew up in Alton, Illinois,
where his father was a wealthy manufacturer of farming equipment. He
is the younger brother of the journalist and diplomat Norman Hapgood.
After a year at the University of Michigan, he transferred to Harvard
University, where he took a B.A. in 1892 and earned his master's
degree in 1897. Two of the intervening years were spent studying
sociology and philosophy at the universities of Berlin and Freiburg,
Germany. At first, he became a teacher of English composition at
Harvard and the University of Chicago, but was eventually inspired by
his older brother, Norman to pursue a career in journalism.

He obtained his first employment with the 'New York Commercial
Advertiser' (later known as the 'New York Globe'). His mentor there
was Lincoln Steffens, the  muckraking reporter. On June 22, 1899, he
married Neith Boyce, Steffens' assistant and a journalist in her own
right. They had two children, a boy and girl. In 1904, when the
'Advertiser' was revamped as the 'Globe', he went back to Chicago for
a time and became the drama critic for the 'Chicago Evening Post'.
Returning to New York, he spent much of his career as an editorial
writer for the 'New York Evening Post', the 'Press', and the 'Globe'.
