Charles Barnard was born on February 13, 1838, in Boston, the son of Rev. Charles F. and Sarah (Holmes) Barnard and the grandson of Charles Barnard, a well-known Boston merchant.
He trained in public and private schools until he was sixteen. Although he looked forward to the ministry and for a time assisted his father at the Warren Street Chapel, he gave up his studies because of ill health.
After a brief experience as a florist, he turned to journalism, winning some notice as "Jane Kingsford" by his articles in the Boston Post on the Peace Jubilee Concerts. He became assistant editor of the Boston Journal of Commerce and editor of Vox Humana, Cambridge, Massachussets From 1875 to 1884 he conducted the World's Work Department in Scribner's Monthly (now the Century Magazine), which resulted in his making important contributions on tools and machinery to the Century Dictionary.
Besides serving as superintendent of instruction in the Chautauqua Town and Country Club, he wrote many stories and plays. For several years he lived in New York City, where he became corresponding secretary of the American Dramatists' Club. In 1907 he removed to Darien, Connecticut, where on a small patch of ground he conducted a Housekeeping Experimental Station. About 1912 he removed to Pasadena, and spent his declining years in that city.
Barnard's first books, based on his early experiences in intensive agriculture, were The Sirawberry Garden, My Ten-Rod Farm, and Farming by Inches. These were collected (1869) under the title Gardening for Money and reprinted (1902) as $2, 000 a Year on Fruits and Flowers. His other works in this field were A Simple Flower Garden (1870) and My Handkerchief Garden (1889). As a result of his interest in music he wrote The Soprano (1869), The Tone Masters (3 vols. , 1870 - 71), and Camilla, A Tale of a Violin (1874). Other efforts in fiction were Legilda Romanief (1880), Knights of Today (1881), A Dead Town (1883), and The Whistling Buoy (1888). As further evidence of his versatility he produced a book on Light (1877) with Alfred M. Mayer; Co(tm)peration as a Business (1881); three books (1885 - 86) on the weather, the soil, and useful plants; First Steps in Electricity (1888); and Graphic Methods in Teaching (1889). Later he wrote a Bible story-book called The Door in the Book (1903) and a technical work on Tools and Machines (1903). Throughout his life he engaged in play-writing, producing numerous plays of varying merit. These include The Triple Wedding (1883), The County Fair (1889), in collaboration with Neil Burgess, who appeared in it with great success for many seasons, and The Forest Ring (1901), a fairy drama written with William C. DeMille.
