Author Bio
H. L. Mencken
H. L. Mencken became a reporter for the "Baltimore Herald" in 1899, and maintained a journalistic career until 1948. He was notorious for his curmudgeonly columns, his purely ornery personality, and his ability to shock the sensibility of an entire nation with a stroke of his pen. In 1930 he married Sara Powell Haardt, who died five years later.
