Who was Milton Bradley?
Since it's Christmastime, we're seeing ads for games that we never see the rest of the year. The name Milton Bradley is prominently displayed on various board games, the most prominent being The Game of Life. I wondered if there ever was a Milton Bradley, so I wiki'd him. Below is a link to his Wikipedia.org article:
Milton Bradley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Surprisingly, Mr. Bradley was born in 1935, and his first success was publishing a lithograph of (then) President Lincoln. He set up his game company in 1861 to publish a game he invented, The Checkered Game of Life. The game was quite successful. The modern Game of Life came about in 1960, in connection with the 100th Anniversary of the founding of the company. The Milton Bradley Company has since been taken over by Hasbro.
