Stannard Baker was an American journalist who used the pen name
David Grayson. After law school he worked as a journalist in
1892 with the Chicago News-Record, where he covered the Pullman
Strike and Coxey's Army in 1894. Baker wrote eight books of
essays and observations on life's simple pleasures. Adventures
in Contentment was the first of these books written ten years
before Great Possessions. Grayson talks of the earth and the
tastes and smells he has encountered. His observations about
life and the world around him are classic. He talks not of the
outer visible life of a man, but rather of the inner thoughts
and experiences that are in their own way much more fulfilling.
