George Barr McCutcheon (1866-1928) was an American novelist best known for his fictional works such as Graustark (1901).
McCutcheon was born on July 26, 1866 to John Barr and Clara (Glick) McCutcheon in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. As a boy, McCutcheon taught his brother John how to draw. John went on to become a successful American cartoonist. George McCutcheon attended Purdue University at Lafayette from 1882-1883 before leaving to work as a reporter at the Lafayette Journal . "The Ante-Mortem Condition of George Ramor," printed in the National Magazine in 1896, was McCutcheon's first published short story. Graustark, written in 1901, established McCutcheon as a writer. The novel was written in a single draft at about a thousand words a day. McCutcheon married Marie Van Antwerp Fay on September 26, 1904. He died suddenly on October 23, 1928 while at a luncheon at the Hotel Martinique.
