HISTORY

 

The Family Club was formed in 1901 after Ambrose Bierce wrotea poem that seemed to predict President William McKinley's death by an assassin's bullet.The Hearst chain of newspapers including the "San Francisco Examiner" and others owned byWilliam Randolph Hearstpublished the poem, and some of the Bohemian Club members took offense. When McKinley was assassinated shortly thereafter, opponents of Hearst created a fervor over the poem's publication and banned Hearst newspapers from the premises. A group of 14 reporters, editors, and other Hearst newsmen, in the spirit of true Bohemians and asserting freedom of the press, resigned in protest to the censorship, formed their own club, and called it "The Family"
