Author Gelett Burgess (1866-1951) earned a degree from MIT then escaped west and became part of the San Francisco Bay Area literary renaissance of the 1890s as an artist, poet, author, and humorist. He was best known as a writer of nonsense verse, such as “The Purple Cow,” and for introducing French modern art to the United States in an essay titled The Wild Men of Paris.
