Biography
He was born
June 22,
1846, in
Boston, and entered
Harvard in 1863, but didn't graduate. He studied
civil engineering in America and
Germany, was
engineer in the New York City Dock Department under
General McClellan (
1870–
72), spent 10 years abroad, and on his return edited his father's unfinished
Dr. Grimshawe's Secret (1883). While in
Europe he wrote the novels:
Bressant (1873);
Idolatry (1874);
Garth (1874);
Archibald Malmaison (1879); and
Sebastian Strome (1880). Hawthorne also wrote a critique of his father's novel
The Scarlet Letter that was published in
The Atlantic Monthly in April 1886. He wrote many novels after his return. In 1889 there were reports that Hawthorne was one of several writers who had, under the name of "Arthur Richmond," published in the
North American Review devastating attacks on President
Grover Cleveland and other leading Americans. Hawthorne denied the reports.
In 1908, Hawthorne’s old Harvard friend William J. Morton (son of pioneer anesthesiologist
William T.G. Morton) invited Hawthorne to join in promoting some newly created mining companies in
Ontario,
Canada. Hawthorne made his writing and his family name central to the stock-selling campaigns. After complaints from shareholders, both Morton and Hawthorne were tried in New York City for mail fraud, and convicted in 1913. Hawthorne was able to sell some three and a half million shares of stock in a nonexistent silver mine and served one year in the
Atlanta Federal Penitentiary.
Upon his release from prison, he wrote
The Subterranean Brotherhood (1914), a nonfiction work calling for an immediate end to incarceration of criminals. Hawthorne argued, based on his own experience, that incarceration was inhumane, and should be replaced by moral suasion. Of the fraud with which he was charged he always maintained his innocence.
