About the author
Born in Philadelphia on April 18, 1864, Richard Harding Davis became a prominent American journalist, novelist, playwright, and short-story writer. Britannica describes him as the best-known reporter of his generation, and he is especially remembered for his work as a war correspondent.
After studying at Lehigh University and Johns Hopkins, he began newspaper work in Philadelphia and soon built a national reputation. Wikipedia and Britannica both note his coverage of major conflicts including the Spanish–American War, the Second Boer War, and World War I, along with his popular fiction and drama.
Davis died on April 11, 1916, in Mount Kisco, New York. Today he is often remembered for combining brisk, dramatic reporting with entertaining fiction, making him a key figure in both American journalism and popular literature of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
