Biographical Text

Samuel Sidney McClure was born in County Antrim, Ireland, and immigrated to the United States when he was nine. After graduating from Knox College and holding several brief journalism positions, McClure started McClure's Syndicate, a business group that would buy novels from authors and sell them to newspapers to be serialized. In time, it became America's first profitable syndicate. McClure then co-founded McClure's Magazine, which specialized in investigative journalism and serialized novels. He left the magazine in 1912 after losing control of the business' interests but continued to ghost-write for the magazine. McClure died in 1949.

McClure married Harriet Hurd in 1883. The couple had four children- Eleanor, Elizabeth, Robert, and Mary.

Jane Addams often sent in articles to McClure's magazine. McClure took a great interest in her writing and offered critques on her work. McClure also published chapters of her books in his issues.
