Bernarr Macfadden (1868 - 1955) was the one person in the early
twentieth century most responsible for creating a health and
fitness consciousness across America and helping Americans emerge
from a puritanical mentality. Macfadden was the self-proclaimed
"Father of Physical Culture," and a flamboyant personality, true
visionary, millionaire publisher, and life-long advocate of
physical fitness, natural food, outdoor exercise, and the natural
treatment of disease. He was branded a "kook" and a charlatan by
many, was arrested on obscenity charges, denounced by the medical
establishment, and campaigned tirelessly against "pill-pushers,"
processed foods, and prudery. This pictorial history of Macfadden's
extraordinary life - from his earliest years as a sickly child
through the years of his fame and success, contains hundreds of
rare photos from the pages of his books and magazines, as well as
pictures of his health sanitariums, a failed Utopian health
community, and his "physical culture" family.
