Born at Garnett, Kansas, 1868, but brought up in Illinois. His schooling
was desultory, but he read widely. Studied one year at Knox College;
learned Greek, which influenced him strongly.
Studied law in his father's office at Lewiston, and practiced there for a
year. Then went to Chicago where he became a successful attorney and also
took an active part in politics.
Mr. Masters' fame was established by the _Spoon River Anthology_, which
was suggested by _The Greek Anthology_. With this Mr. Masters had become
familiar as early as 1909, through Mr. William Marion Reedy. _The Spoon
River Anthology_ first appeared in _Reedy's Mirror_, under the
significant pseudonym, "Webster Ford."
