RICHARD HARDING DAVIS, a Philadelphia-born journalist, led a mythic
life, one full of adventure, high drama, and at least one close
call with Germans who thought he was a spy during World War I.
Davis was a respected reporter and editor who described foreign
events to the U.S. during the late 1800s and early 1900s. He
covered the globe while working as war correspondent for Harper's
and other publications, and reported on the Spanish War, the
Spanish-American War in Cuba, and the Boer War. During World War I,
he was captured by the Germans, who accused him of being a British
spy. His reporting also helped to create the Rough Riders legend
associated with Teddy Roosevelt. He collected many of his articles
in the books Rulers of the Mediterranean, About Paris, and Three
Gringos in Venezuela and Central America. This book, written by the
journalist's brother, provides an intimate look at a writer who led
a very public life.
