“So, who is Artemis Ward?” It’s a question we hear often. And, like many good questions, its answer stretches across centuries and includes revolution and a nom de plume.

Charles Farrar Browne — better known by his pen name, Artemus Ward — was a 19th-century storyteller renowned for his humor and wit. Abraham Lincoln counted Artemus among his favorite writers and Mark Twain knew him as a close friend. A century earlier, a man named Artemas Ward (with a slightly different spelling) was the second-in-command general to George Washington during the Revolutionary War. 

And today, with just the change of a vowel (Artemas > Artemus > Artemis), we’ve adopted the name as our own — a nod to our D.C. roots and a reminder that every day is better with a good story in the mix.
