About the author
Born in Portland, Oregon, in 1879, he trained in law at the University of Oregon and Harvard but chose journalism instead. Early in his career he worked for The Oregonian and covered major events before building a reputation as a foreign correspondent.
He is best remembered for reporting from Europe during World War I and the revolutions that followed, including firsthand coverage from Petrograd in 1917. Those experiences shaped books such as Through War to Revolution and How Much Bolshevism Is There in America?, which reflect his interest in international politics and the social forces reshaping the modern world.
He spent much of his professional life explaining turbulent world events to American readers in clear, on-the-ground terms. He died in Madrid in 1951, leaving behind a body of reporting and nonfiction that captures history as it was unfolding.
