Richard Harding Davis (1864-1916) remains important as the first American War correspondent to cover the Spanish-American War, the Second Boer War and the First World War. He was indisputably talented and his writings ranged from journalism to novels, several of which were adapted for the screen in the silent film era. This original Leonaur book combines his writings on the conflict in Cuba with his correspondence written in the same period, including 'Cuba in Wartime' and relevant extracts from 'Adventures and Letters of Richard Harding Davis' and 'Notes of War'. Davis was a friend to Theodore Roosevelt and was instrumental in the creation of the legends surrounding 'The Rough Riders' and was made an honorary member of the regiment. The book is enhanced by the inclusion of several line illustrations by the well-known American artist Frederic Remington. This is a recommended edition for those interested in fine journalism, the war or Davis himself. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
