RICHARD HARDING DAVIS. Inscribed Signature: "Robert
Dechert/Very Sincerely His/Richard Harding Davis", 4¾x2¼. Richard Harding
Davis (1864-1916) was managing editor of Harper's Weekly magazine by
the age of 26. The author of romantic novels and short stories, he was best
known as a war correspondent. In Cuba to cover the revolution against Spain,
he filed the famous story of the strip search of a young Cuban woman, which did
much to inflame American opinion, but resigned in protest because William
Randolph Hearst had changed his story to say that male guards had conducted the
search. When the U.S. sent troops to the island, Davis did much to popularize
Teddy Roosevelt and his "Rough Riders." Covering World War I, he was captured by
the German army in Belgium and almost executed as a British spy before finally
convincing his captors he was an American reporter. Arrow drawn in pencil
(unknown hand) to Davis' signature. Slightly soiled. Paperclip impression at
bottom center, touching "H" in "Harding". Otherwise, fine condition.
