Biographyedit
Underwood was born on January 12, 1825, in Enfield, Massachusetts, the son of Phoebe (Hall) and Roswell Underwood.[1]
Underwood worked in Kentucky from 1845 to 1850, but his hatred of slavery caused him to quit the state. He became an ardent supporter of the Free Soil Party. Originally, he planned to launch a Free-soil magazine in 1853, but the idea did not come to fruition until The Atlantic Monthly in 1857.[2]
Underwood traveled to Britain in August 1885 on SS Cephalonia. He arrived in Liverpool and then traveled by railway to Glasgow.[3]
In 1885, Underwood was appointed American Consul at Glasgow in Scotland.[4] In 1893, he was Consul for Leith.[5] He is noted as being a member of Edinburgh's "Pen and Pencil Club".[6]

Kentucky in American Letters, 1784-1912. 1976 "Francis Henry Underwood, 'the editor who was never the editor' of The Atlantic Monthly, though he was indeed the projector and first associate editor of that famous magazine, was born at Enfield, Massachusetts, January 12, 1825, the son of Roswell Underwood. ... Underwood's intense hatred of slavery caused him to quit Kentucky, in 1850, after having lived for six years in this State, and to return. ... He enlisted in the Free-soil movement with heart and soul."
