Notes |
- He was was an American artist and writer who was a co-founder of Sturm, Ruger, a firearms manufacturer. As a writer and artist, he was, during his life, perhaps best known for his two popular illustrated children's books, The Problem Fox and From Ambush to Zig-zag, both published before he graduated from Yale, and for his playboy bon vivant lifestyle among the rich and famous.
Always sickly, Alexander Sturm became seriously ill in 1951 with hepatitis and died suddenly and unexpectedly. His wife, Paulina Longworth Sturm, died in 1957. Their daughter Joanna Sturm was raised by her grandmother Alice Roosevelt Longworth, who was the daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt.
