In 1919, an eager young inventor named Alfred M. Hubbard, made his first newspaper appearance with the announcement of a perpetual motion machine which harnessed energy from the Earth's atmosphere. From there, Hubbard transformed himself into a charlatan, bootlegger, radio pioneer, top secret spy, millionaire and uranium entrepreneur. In 1950, after discovering the transformative effects of a little-known hallucinogenic compound, Hubbard would go on to become the \"Johnny Appleseed of LSD,\" introducing the psychedelic to many of the era's vanguards and an entire generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoin author and historian Brad Holden as he chronicles the fascinating life of one of Seattle's legendary figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrad Holden is an author, historian and finder of old things.
