The Amazing Career of
Bernarr Macfadden
William R. Hunt
Popular Press
Bernarr Macfadden (1868–1955)
entertained and instructed Americans for decades. He championed
physical exercise, fasting, and diet reform and was the relentless
scourge of established doctors. He presented his views in Physical
Culture, a popular magazine featuring photographs of strong
men and healthy women and articles promoting the healthy life.
While some critics derided him as a health nut, no one could
dispute his genius as a magazine publisher. He established the
world's greatest magazine publishing empire through the innovation
of such popular publications as True Story, the first
confession magazine; True Detective; and many others.
