Clyde Arbuckle Explained

Clyde Arbuckle (1903–1998) was an American historian of, and lifelong resident of, San Jose, California.[1] [2] He is the author of Clyde Arbuckle's History of San José.[3] [4] This 500 page book[5] has been extensively referenced by historians.[6]

Early life

Arbuckle was the son of W. J. Arbuckle, and the brother of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, a silent film star.[7] As a young man, Arbuckle played the banjo.[8] Arbuckle was also a road bicycle racer with the Garden City Wheelmen,[9] [10] [11] San Jose residents have named a public school in his memory,[12] and a referee at the Burbank Velodrome.[13] In 1922 he set a national cycling speed record.[14]

Career

Arbuckle was the founder and curator[15] of the San José Historical Museum (now called History San Jose).[16] He was secretary of the San Jose Historic Landmarks Commission.[17]

Arbuckle was San Jose's official historian for more than fifty years.[18] [19] During this time he amassed a large collection of photographs of the area, which are now housed at the San Jose Public Library. The photographs have been used to illustrate many history books.[20] [21]

A biography of Arbuckle's life, Clyde Arbuckle: A 90 Year Biography, was written by Leonard McKay published by Memorobilia of San Jose in 1993. Arbuckle died in 1998.
