Isaac Rieman Baxley

(1850-1920)
California

"Isaac R. Baxley . . . was born in Baltimore, Md., in 1950. He was educated at the Catholic College of St. Ignatius de Layola (although he is not a Catholic himself), and passed the bar before the age of twenty-one. Mr. Baxley says this was his first legal crime--but the age question was not asked of him. He practiced little at the law, and abandoned it because he wished to write, and only write poetry. . . .

"Mr. Baxley has traveled a great deal, having been in Europe twice, and has lived permanently in California since 1878. His home is in Santa Barbara." The Magazine of Poetry: A Quarterly Review 271-274 (Buffalo, New York: Charles Wells Moulton,1890)(vol. 2)
