  • The Spanish-American War As a Bourgeois Testing Ground Richard Harding Davis, Frank Norris and Stephen Crane
    David Kramer The Spanish-American War as a Bourgeois Testing Ground Richard Harding Davis, Frank Norris and Stephen Crane The men who hurried into the ranks were not the debris of American life, were not the luckless, the idle. The scapegraces and vagabonds who could well have been spared, but the very flower of the race, young well born. The brief struggle was full of individual examples of dauntless courage. A correspondent in the spasms of mortal agony finished his dispatch and sent it off. —Rebecca Harding Davis, l898l y implying the death of a heroic but doomed newspaperman in the charge at Las Guisimas, Rebecca Harding Davis was, fortunately, premature. Davis’s son, Richard, who witnessed the incident, made a similar misapprehension Bwhen he reported, “This devotion to duty by a man who knew he was dying was as fine as any of the courageous and inspiring deeds that occurred during the two hours of breathless, desperate fighting.” The writhing correspondent was Edward Marshall of the New York Journal who, hit by a Spanish bullet in the spine and nearly paralyzed, was nonetheless able to dictate his stirring account of Roosevelt’s Rough Riders. Taken to the rear and his condition deemed hopeless, Marshall somehow survived his agony and after a long convalescence was restored to health. Marshall would later capitalize on his now national fame by penning such testimonials as “What It Feels Like To Be Shot.”2 Fundamentally, the Spanish-American War was fought for and, to a lesser degree, by the middle and upper classes—Rebecca Harding Davis’s the very flower of the race, young well born.

  • Appreciations of Richard Harding Davis
    1 APPRECIATIONS Gouverneur Morris Booth Tarkington Charles Dana Gibson E. L. Burlingame Augustus Thomas Theodore Roosevelt Irvin S. Cobb 2 John Fox, Jr Finley Peter Dunne Winston Churchill Leonard Wood John T. McCutcheon R. H. D. BY GOUVERNEUR MORRIS "And they rise to their feet as He passes by, gentlemen unafraid." He was almost too good to be true. In addition, the gods loved him, and so he had to die young. Some people think that a man of fifty-two is middle-aged. But if R. H. D. had lived to be a hundred, he would never have grown old. It is not generally known that the name of his other brother was Peter Pan. Within the year we have played at pirates together, at the taking of sperm whales; and we have ransacked the Westchester Hills for gunsites against the Mexican invasion. And we have made lists of guns, and medicines, and tinned things, in case we should ever happen to go elephant-shooting in Africa. But we weren't going to hurt the elephants. Once R. H. D. shot a hippopotamus and he was always ashamed and sorry. I think he never killed anything else. He wasn't that kind of a sportsman. Of hunting, as of many other things, he has said the last word. Do you remember the Happy Hunting Ground in "The Bar Sinister"?--"where nobody hunts us, and there is nothing to hunt." Experienced persons tell us that a manhunt is the most exciting of all sports. R. H. D. hunted men in Cuba.

  • Infirm Soldiers in the Cuban War of Theodore Roosevelt and Richard Harding Davis”
    David Kramer “Infirm Soldiers in the Cuban War of Theodore Roosevelt and Richard Harding Davis” George Schwartz was thought to be one of the few untouched by the explosion of the Maine in the Havana Harbor. Schwartz said that he was fine. However, three weeks later in Key West, he began to complain of not being able to sleep. One of the four other survivors [in Key West] said of Schwartz, “Yes, sir, Schwartz is gone, and he knows it. I don’t know what’s the matter with him and he don’t know. But he’s hoisted his Blue Peter and is paying out his line.” After his removal to the Marine Hospital in Brooklyn, doctors said that Schwartz’s nervous system had been completely damaged when he was blown from the deck of the Maine. —from press reports in early April 1898, shortly before the United States officially declared War on Spain. n August 11th 1898 at a Central Park lawn party organized by the Women’s Patriotic Relief Association, 6,000 New Yorkers gathered to greet invalided sol- diers and sailors returningO from Cuba following America’s victory. Despite the men’s infirmities, each gave his autograph to those in attendance. A stirring letter was read from Richmond Hobson, the newly anointed hero of Santiago Bay. Each soldier and sailor received a facsimile lithograph copy of the letter as a souvenir.1 Twenty years later, the sight of crippled and psychologically traumatized soldiers returning from France would shake the ideals of Victorian England, and to a lesser degree, the United States.

THE LAST DAYS CHAPTER I THE EARLY DAYS Richard Harding Davis was born in Philadelphia on April 18, 1864, but, so far as memory serves me, his life and mine began together several years later in the three-story brick house on South Twenty-first Street, to which we had just moved. For more than forty years this was our home in all that the word implies, and I do not believe that there was ever a moment when it was not the predominating influence in page 2 / 485 Richard's life and in his work. As I learned in later years, the house had come into the possession of my father and mother after a period on their part of hard endeavor and unusual sacrifice. It was their ambition to add to this home not only the comforts and the beautiful inanimate things of life, but to create an atmosphere which would prove a constant help to those who lived under its roof--an inspiration to their children that should endure so long as they lived.

  • Hemispheric Imaginings: the Monroe Doctrine and Narratives of U.S
    H-LatAm Haas on Murphy, 'Hemispheric Imaginings: The Monroe Doctrine and Narratives of U.S. Empire' Review published on Monday, October 1, 2007 Gretchen Murphy. Hemispheric Imaginings: The Monroe Doctrine and Narratives of U.S. Empire. Durham: Duke University Press, 2005. xi + 195 pp. $21.95 (paper), ISBN 978-0-8223-3496-5; $74.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-8223-3484-2. Reviewed by Martin Haas (History Department, Adelphi University)Published on H-LatAm (October, 2007) "The past is not dead, it is not even past," William Faulkner famously wrote in Requiem for a Nun.[1] Grechten Murphy's Hemispheric Imaginings argues that the past is not only alive but protean; seminal historical concepts are constantly re-imagined to reflect the political and cultural environment of the present. Murphy's case study traces the evolving understanding of the ideas embodied in the Monroe Doctrine from two years before its articulation in James Monroe's annual message before Congress on December 2, 1823 to Max Boot's 2003Financial Times editorial declaring that George W. Bush's policy of preemption "merely expanded the Monroe Doctrine to a global scale" (p. 98). While beginning in the early nineteenth century when the American empire was primarily a continental dream, Hemispheric Imaginings concludes in the twenty-first century when U.S. stewardship of the western hemisphere is, in the age of globalization, globalized. Murphy, an assistant professor of English at the University of Minnesota, Morris, applies interdisciplinary analysis toward understanding the changing meanings of the Monroe Doctrine in narratives of U.S. imperialism. In her introduction, Murphy clearly states that the book "is guided by the premise that the separation between politics and culture that structures many disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences is a false one" (p.
