Biography/Timeline

1865

Doubleday first married Neltje De Graff (1865-1918), who published several books on gardens and birds. They adopted a boy Felix Doty, then had a son Nelson and daughter Dorothy together. Nelson Doubleday followed his father into the publishing Business and served for years as President of the company, to be followed in 1978 by his own son, Nelson Doubleday, Jr.

1897

They formed the Doubleday & McClure Co. in March 1897. The following year, Doubleday and McClure accepted a contract to manage the great publishing house of Harper & Brothers, at the instigation of their banker, J. Pierpont Morgan. On taking control, Doubleday dug thoroughly through Harper's books and decided that the company's finances were in a shambles; he convinced McClure and Morgan to call off the deal. (Harper had gone heavily into debt in the Panic of 1893, and the extension of copyright to foreign authors in 1891 put a large dent in Harper's principal Business, the cheap domestic reprints of respected foreign authors.)

1899

On December 31, 1899, growing tension between Doubleday and McClure led the two men to dissolve their partnership. The following year, Doubleday invited Walter Hines Page, former Editor of The Atlantic Monthly, to join him; the new firm was Doubleday, Page & Co.

1921

In 1921, Doubleday bought a controlling interest in the English publisher william Heinemann, after Heinemann died unexpectedly without leaving an heir. In 1927, Doubleday purchased the publishing house of George H. Doran, and his company became Doubleday, Doran & Co.

1986

His son Nelson Doubleday, son-in-law John Turner Sargent, Sr. and grandson Nelson Doubleday, Jr. all worked in the company and led it through different periods. In 1986, after years of changes in the publishing Business, his grandson Nelson Doubleday, Jr. as President sold the Doubleday Company to the German group Bertelsmann.

2017

Frank Doubleday was a native of Brooklyn, New York, the son of william Edwards Doubleday, a hatter and his wife. Frank Doubleday's ancestors came to Boston in the early 17th century. Early in life, he became fascinated with the printing Business. By the age of ten, he had saved up enough money to buy his own printing press. He earned back the cost by printing advertising and news circulars for local businesses, and from that point never left the Business. Frank's distant relative Ulysses F. Doubleday was a book publisher earlier in the 19th century. When Doubleday was 14, his father's Business failed. The youth had to leave school and find a full-time job.
