Excerpt from Poems: With Biographical Introduction
Harold Brian Steele was born at Howell, Michigan, August 6, 1887, the son of George and Dora Steele, When the boy was three months old his parents re moved to Charlotte, Michigan. It was at Charlotte that Steele received his entire preparatory education. He entered the primary schools of that city at the age of six, and was considered to be an exceptionally precocious child. He began to read extensively at the age of eight.
His first poetical composition was produced when the boy was eleven years of age. It bore the pretentious title History of Persia. The following year he wrote another poem entitled Rulers of The World which was published in the Charlotte Tribune. The editor offered to publish the lad's earlier poem, but Steele had already discovered historical inaccuracies, and refused to have it printed.
In 1901 he left the grammar grades for a time, serving for one term as page in the House of Representatives at Lansing where he took an active part in a debating society organized by the boys.
