Elbert Hubbard was born in Bloomington, Illinois, in 1856. After a successful early career as a soap salesman, he retired in 1892 and founded the Roycroft Press in East Aurora, New York, the following year. Roycroft grew into an artisan community that produced handmade books, furniture, and decorative objects, becoming a center of the American Arts and Crafts movement.
Hubbard is best remembered for “A Message to Garcia,” a short essay published in 1899 that became one of the most widely distributed pieces of writing in American history. He also wrote the “Little Journeys” series of biographical sketches about famous people. Hubbard died in 1915 when the RMS Lusitania was torpedoed by a German submarine.
