A Young Manson
As the story goes, Manson was born on November 12, 1934, to Kathleen Maddox who was 16 at the time and unmarried. Charles’ full name was Charles Milles Maddox, and he never knew his father who was a Colonel named Walker Scott. Manson didn’t have an easy childhood, to say the least. Supposedly his mom had run away and became a heavy drinker. Manson even recalled at one point that his mom sold him to a waitress, who was desperate for a child, for a single pitcher of beer.
