Autorenporträt
George Barr McCutcheon was a famous American author who lived from July 26, 1866, to October 23, 1928. A group of books set in Graustark, a made-up country in East Europe, and the book Brewster's Millions, which was turned into a play and several movies, are his most well-known works. He was born in Indiana's Tippecanoe County. Even though he didn't go to school, his father stressed the value of literature and encouraged his boys to write. During McCutcheon's childhood, his dad had a few jobs that needed him to go to different places in the county. McCutcheon went to Purdue University and shared a room with George Ade, who would later become a comedian. He was editor of the newspaper Lafayette Daily Courier and wrote a satirical serial book about life on the Wabash River while he was in college. He died in Manhattan, New York City, New York. His brother was the famous artist John T. McCutcheon of that name. A lot of Indiana writers from the same time as McCutcheon are thought to be part of the Golden Age of Indiana Literature.
