Biography

He was born in New York City on October 18, 1854. He joined his father's publishing company in 1875 after his Princeton graduation. When the other partners in the venture sold their stake to the family, the company was renamed Charles Scribner's Sons. In 1884, Scribner's younger brother, Arthur Hawley Scribner, joined Charles Scribner's Sons. The book publishing business was highly successful, and in 1886 Scribner's Magazine was relaunched. It too was a great success. In 1889, Scribner was a founding member of the American Publishers Association. He was a trustee at Skidmore College.

He died on April 19, 1930.

Legacy

His summer house in Cornwall, New York, was later listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Family

Scribner's brother-in-law, Ernest Flagg, was an architect and designed two Beaux-Arts buildings for the firm's New York headquarters.
