C.E.S Wood came to the West as a soldier and explorer in the 1870's. In later years he was a lawyer, politician, painter, poet, writer, and patron of the arts. In law practice he represented various businesses, but also was a defender of free speech and radical politics. He defended Emma Goldman and provided counsel for the I.W.W. His professional life was spent in Portland, Oregon, and the years of his retirement in San Francisco and Los Gatos. Wood's second wife was poet Sara Bard Field.
