H(enry) L(ouis) Mencken (1880-1956) American literary critic, humorous journalist, essayist, whose comic skepticism about human progress, expressed with penetrating style, is a treasure for all interested in extravagant language. Mencken wrote - according to some estimations - 3 000 newspaper columns. During the 15-year period following World War I, Mencken set the standard for satire in his day, and his essays are still widely read. "Here is something that the psychologists have so far neglected: the love of ugliness for its own sake, the lust to make the world intolerable. Its habitat is the United States. Out of the melting pot emerges a race which hates beauty as it hates truth." (from 'The Libido for the Ugly', 1927) Henry Louis Mencken was born in Baltimore, Maryland. His grandfather had prospered in the tobacco business and his father, August, continued the family tradition. Mencken studied at the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute (1892-96) and then worked at his father's cigar factory. After his father died in 1899, Mencken was free to choose his own trade in the world. "I chose newspaper work without any hesitation whatever, and. save when the scent of a passing garbage-cart has revived my chemical libido, I have never regretted my choice," he later said. He was a reporter or editor for several Baltimore papers, among them

Overview
Henry Louis Mencken was born in Baltimore City, September 12, 1880 to a family of cigar makers. While he spent his youth and early adulthood following his father's footsteps in the cigar trade, he spent his free time writing and reading voraciously. By the age of eight, he had already become interested in literature, and owned his first library card by the age of nine. In 1888, he recieved his first inking kit, and began his long career of publishing and working with the presses. After his father's death in 1899, H.L. Mencken left the cigar industry and earned his first position with the Baltimore Morning Herald as a reporter at the age of 18. His eagerness to learn the trade quickly earned him the title of editor in under two years, a position he kept until the Herald ceased to exist in 1906. From there he moved to the Baltimore Sun where he remained on staff until 1948. But H.L. Mencken was no ordinary reporter. His reviews and columns became some of the widest-read columns in the country. Among many of his amazing reports, H.L. Mencken was well known for his commentary during the Scopes Monkey Trial in 1929. As a free-lance columnist, his columns addressed many of the social issues of the day, ranging from civil rights and social darwinism to Prohibition and the Great Depression. While not everything he wrote was "politically correct" and considered by some to be down right racist and elitist, his writings with the Baltimore

Henry Louis Mencken was born into a family of Baltimore cigar makers, on September 12, 1880. Privately educated, his interest in literature began at the age of 8, had his first library card at age 9, and graduated from Baltimore Polytechnic Institute at age 16.

His article on the 1925 Scopes Trial, in which a Tennessee school teacher was found guilty of teaching evolution, was syndicated around the country.

Henry Louis Mencken (1880 - 1956)
by Gibbons Burke T he most prominent newspaperman, book reviewer, and political commentator of his day, Henry Louis Mencken was a libertarian before the word came into usage. His prose is as clear as an azure sky, and his rhetoric as deadly as a rifle shot. Frequent targets of his lance were Franklin Roosevelt and New Deal politics, Comstocks victuals offered up by Chesapeake Bay. M encken's writing is endearing because of its wit, its crisp style, and the obvious delight he takes in it. The Introduction to The Impossible H.L. Mencken: A Collection of His Best Newspaper Stories , edited by Marion Elizabeth Rodgers which relates Mencken's manner while reporting on the presidential conventions: No other entertainment gave him greater pleasure than reporting from the conventions; nor did anyone appreciate his efforts more than Mencken himself. One reporter, peering through Mencken's window late at night after one rally, recalled watching him at work alone in his hotel room, pounding out copy on a typewriter propped on a desk. He would type a few sentences, read them, slap his thigh, toss his head back, and roar with laughter. Then he would type some more lines, guffaw, and so on until the end of the article. A cigar jammed in the side of Mencken's mouth completes the image. Rare is the picture of him without one in a hand, his mouth, or a nearby ashtray. (His father was the owner of Baltimore's Mencken Cigar Company, which provided Mencken his first gainful employment, which he ditched not long after his father's death to become a cub reporter.) Here's Mencken's assessment of life in the United States:

Born: September 12, 1880 in Baltimore, Maryland
Died: January 29, 1956 Biography:
Henry Louis Mencken was an essayist, newspaper editor, and prolific author who specialized in writing biting satire which criticized the political, religious and social dogmas which most people tended to accept without question. Mencken was a staunch defender of individualism, thus his sights were often aimed at those forces which threatened to eliminate diversity in the name of conformity. He became well known for his reporting at the Scopes Monkey Trial where he harshly attacked William Jennings Bryan. Mencken's criticism of religion was based upon his own philosophy of scientific skepticism. For Mencken, it was not so much an attempt to prove that science is true and religion is false, but rather to show that the value of doubt is better than the value of faith. Mencken also became an advocate of Nietzschean ethics, arguing that democracy and socialism only encourage mob rule and mob ethics instead of the important values of honor, courage and rebellion.

http://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/baltimore/b4.htm
A National Historic Landmark, this brick, Italianate row house was the residence of noted Baltimore Sun journalist and author Henry Louis Mencken from 1883 until his death in 1956. A curmudgeon with an acidic writing style, Mencken gained national recognition as one of the most influential critics of American culture, politics, education and life, coining the word "booboisie" to describe the American public. His influence was unmistakable as the foremost authority on the American language through his multi-volumed The American Language . He also discovered and championed such new and bold American writers as James Branch Cabell and Sinclair Lewis. Mencken's diatribes against American culture and democracy went so deep that he once received an appreciative authographed photograph from Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm II. Mencken himself came from German ancestry, and was vocal about his opposistion to American involvement in World War I. Mencken's interests went beyond the politics and contemporary culture of the day; he once produced a book on the philosophy of German philogist-turned-philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.
