Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer origin story in Skokie
Robert L. May created Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer in 1939 for Montgomery Ward as a Christmas giveaway. The character’s red nose helped Santa guide his sleigh in fog and snow. The story grew into a best selling book and a Johnny Marks song later popularized by Gene Autry. May’s royalties supported his family as Rudolph became a lasting holiday staple.
