Josiah Warren (/ˈwɒrən/; June 26, 1798 – April 14, 1874) was an American utopian socialist, American individualist anarchist,[4] individualist philosopher, polymath, social reformer, inventor, musician, printer and author. He is regarded by anarchist historians like James J. Martin and Peter Marshall among others as the first American anarchist[5][6][7][8] (although Warren never used the term anarchism himself) and the four-page weekly paper he edited during 1833, The Peaceful Revolutionist, the first anarchist periodical published,[9] was an enterprise for which he built his own printing press, cast his own type, and made his own printing plates.[9]
