  • George Barr McCutcheon was an American popular novelist and playwright. His best known works include the series of novels set in Graustark, a fictional East European country, Brewster's Millions, a play and several films. Born in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, McCutcheon's father, despite not receiving formal education, stressed the value of literature and encouraged his sons to write. During McCutcheon's childhood, his father had a number of jobs that required travel around the county in Indiana. McCutcheon studied at Purdue University and was a roommate of future humorist George Ade. During his college years, he was editor of the Lafayette Daily Courier and wrote a serial novel of satire about Wabash River life. Although McCutcheon became famous for the Graustark series (the first novel was published in 1901), he hated the characterization of being a Romantic and preferred to be identified with his playwriting. He was the older brother of noted cartoonist John T. McCutcheon.
  • George Barr McCutcheon född 26 juli 1866, död 1928, var en amerikansk romanförfattare och dramatiker. Hans mest kända verk är romanserien som utspelar sig i det fiktiva östeuropeiska landet Graustark samt Brewster's Millions, 1902 som har omarbetats till en pjäs och har filmatiserats ett flertal gånger, bland annat 1985 som Brewsters miljoner. McCutcheon föddes i Tippecanoe County, Indiana. Under McCutcheons barndom hade hans far flera olika jobb som krävde att han reste runt i Indiana. McCutcheon studerade vid Purdue University och var där rumskamrat med den kommande författaren George Ade. Under studietiden var han redaktör för Lafayette Daily Courier och skrev en serie satiriska romaner om livet i Wabash River. Trots att McCutcheon blev känd för Graustarkserien (den första romanen gavs ut 1901), ogillade han att hamna i facket som romantiker och föredrog att bli identifierad med sin dramatik. Han var äldre bror till serietecknaren John T. McCutcheon.
