Author

Herman Melville was born in New York City on August 1, 1819, to Allan Melvill (1782�32) and Maria (Gansevoort) Melvill (1791�72). Herman was the third of eight children in a family of Scottish and Dutch descent. His siblings, who played important roles in his career as well as in his emotional life, were Gansevoort (1815�46); Helen Maria (1817�88); Augusta (1821�76); Allan (1823�72); Catherine (1825�05); Frances Priscilla (1827�85); and Thomas (1830�84), who eventually became a governor of Sailors' Snug Harbor. Part of a well-established and colorful Boston family, Allan Melvill spent much time out of New York and in Europe as a commission merchant and an importer of French dry goods.
