Early Years
Bouck White was born at Middleburgh, Schoharie County, New York, the son of Charles Addison and Mary (Bouck) White. White used Middleburgh as background in his book The Mixing (1913) and described the thinly-veiled residents as, "degenerative Dutchmen." Middleburgh residents sued and retorted that White was "a male child born some years ago in the village, whose early stupidity gave no indication of his future precocity."
