My Favorite Philosophers, Writers, Poets, Statesmen!


Add caption


Creating this Blog about some of my favorite philosophers, writers, poets, and statesmen, has been a labor of love that began in the late '90's.  Each was written after I read about one in "Little Journeys into the Homes of the Greats". This is a collection of books written by Elbert Hubbard and published monthly starting in 1894.



1856 - 1915 

Creator/Author of Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great.


The biographies were collected and republished in a 14-volume Memorial Edition in 1916, shortly after Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard died during the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, sunk by a German submarine on May 7, 1915.

I am thrilled to have the 1928 Memorial Edition printed by the #Roycrofters. A dear friend, Barbara Jean Rowe, gave me a 14-volume set including the Little Guide Book. Each volume contains photos of the great men and women whose homes Mr. Hubbard visited and whose lives he writes about in his undeniable style.

Near the bottom of the web page is written - "but thoughts being in the air are the possession of whoever can seize them..."

I believe the thoughts of Mr. Hubbard permeated the air and instilled in me the desire to create my personal journey into the lives of the greats.
