Biography	Charles Dudley Warner was born on September 12, 1829 in Plainfield, Massachusetts and it was the geography of this state that held him for most of his life, except for a short time in the west of New York state and schooling and brief jobs. He was a graduate of Hamilton College (1851) and later earned a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania (1851). He partnered with Joseph R. Hawley on the Hartford Connecticut, Evening Press (later the Courant) and remained in this position for some thirty years. Warner was a prolific writer and published a series of novels, travel books, and essays. His home at Nook Farm was a well-known neighborhood for writers and it was here in 1871 that Warner met and developed a friendship with Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) who became co-author of The Gilded Age, (1873-74). The book was the first effort for both authors and became a point of fame for Warner in his later years when Clemens eclipsed him. Charles Dudley Warner was married and he and his wife were avid naturalists. An overview of his publications reveals his strong interest in the out of doors life. A sample of his work includes the following in chronological order: Saunterings (descriptions of travel in eastern Europe, 1872) ; BackLog Studies (1872) ; Baddeck, and That Sort of Thing (1874), travels in Nova Scotia and elsewhere ; My Winter on the Nile (1876) ; In the Levant (1876) ; In the Wilderness (1878) ; A Roundabout Journey, in Europe (1883) ; On Horseback, in the Southern States (1888) ; Studies in the South and West, with Comments on Canada (1889) ; Our Italy, southern California (1891) ; The Relation of Literature to Life (1896) ; The People for Whom Shakespeare Wrote (1897) ; Fashions in Literature (1902) ...
