Richard Harding Davis
Richard Harding Davis (
1864-
1916) was a
writer and
journalist best known for his involvement in the
William Randolph Hearst's unproven plot to start the
Spanish-American War in order to boost newspaper sales. Despite his association with
Yellow journalism, his writings of life and travel in
Central America and the
Carribean have remained a vivid portrait of the time.
Some of his works include:
- Notes Of A War Correspondent
- Cuba in War Time
- The West From A Car Window
- Three Gringos in Venezuela
Some of his works are in the
Public domain. See also
