Henry Clubb was an early proponent of moral vegetarianism in America who established a commune in territorial Kansas for vegetarians called "Octagon City."
Clubb is slightly obscure as a character in American vegetarian history, which is why many works on the subject do not even address his work. Clubb is notable for the variety of publications her participated in as a journalist and as editorial staff. Before emigrating to America from the UK, Clubb was secretary for a vegetarian newspaper, The Vegetarian Advocate, which covered a range of justifications for a vegetarian diet. However Clubb is important because he and others involved in this publication took a holistic approach to vegetarianism, extending it beyond food to an ethically inspired lifestyle.
Clubb was also an advocate for the Phrenology of Orson Squire Fowler. Phrenology is a branch of Victorian science that deals with the shape of the skull and the connection between surface bumps and the internal workings of a brain.
