John Galt was born in 1919, in Ohio, in a nondescript town that [[Hugh Akston]] described as a "crossroads." His father was an automobile mechanic who worked at one of the first automobile "service stations."
    
At the age of twelve he left home "to make his own way." How he came to the [[Patrick Henry]] University (not to be confused with the actual [[Patrick Henry College]] set up by [[Jerry Falwell]]), Akston does not tell, but Akston describes him as "out of nowhere, penniless, parentless, tie-less." He came determined to pursue a double major: [[physics]] and [[philosophy]], the science of the world and the science of the mind. While at PHU, he met two other students who entered when he did, each of whom had a background radically different from his. One was [[Francisco d'Anconia|Francisco Domingo Carlos Andres Sebastian d'Anconia]], the current descendant of a famous Spaniard who established the family fortune by digging for copper in the [[Andes Mountains]] of [[Chile]]. The other was [[Ragnar Danneskjold]], a Scandinavian aristocrat. (His specific nation of origin is never specified.) The three, remarkably, were sixteen years old.
