Bouck White

Bouck White

Bouck White (1874—January 7, 1951), was an American socialist and author, born at Middleburgh, New York.

He graduated from Harvard University in 1896 and from Union Theological Seminary of New York City in 1902. For some years he was a Congregational minister.

As was true of many other men at that time, he began to question the suitability of being rich. White appeared (May 10, 1914) at a service of the church to which the Rockefeller family belonged, in order to discuss the question, "Did Jesus teach the immorality of being rich?". He was arrested on the charge of disorderly conduct and sentenced to six months in the workhouse. For desecrating the national flag, he was again sent to prison in 1916.

His writings include "Quo Vaditis" (1903), "The Book of Daniel Drew" (1910), "The Call of the Carpenter" (1911), "The Mixing" (1913), "The Carpenter and the Rich Man" (1914), and "Letters from Prison" (1915).
