Born on September 18, 1916 in New Brunswick, Canada, his father was an Irish immigrant laborer and his mother was a Maine school teacher, who died shortly after the family moved to a farm in New Hampshire in 1921. Martin attended Catholic schools for eight years, where he was a star football player, and won a scholarship to the University of New Hampshire. He studied history, with a particular interest 19th century America, and earned his Ph.D. He then began a teaching career at Northern Illinois University, San Francisco State College, and Deep Springs College in Southern California.
In 1965, Martin joined Rampart College in Larkspur, Colorado, founded and run by Robert LeFevre (1911-1986), a libertarian journalist, broadcaster, writer, editor, and teacher. When the college folded just three years later, Martin founded a small publishing company, Ralph Myles Publisher Inc., in Colorado Springs. He reissued his 1953 book, Men Against the State, as well as a number of volumes concerned with libertarianism, including Benjamin R. Tucker’s State Socialism & Anarchism and Other Essays, Lysander Spooner’s No Treason, and Etienne de la Boetie’s The Will to Bondage.
Martin authored several books on anti-war subjects, including Revisionist Viewpoints (1971) and The Saga of Hog Island (1977), both collections of anti-World War II essays, and An American Adventure in Bookburning (1988), a history of censorship in the United States during World War I.
Martin passed away in Colorado Springs, Colorado on April 4, 2004, aged 87.lihat lebih sedikit
