Harding Davis Richard: 177 books

In common with many others who have been with Richard Harding Davis as correspondents, I find it difficult to realize that he has covered his last story and that he will not be seen again with the men who follow the war game, rushing to distant places upon which the spotlight of news interest suddenly centres.

Davis chronicles his adventures and those of his wife, Cecil Clark Davis, as they traveled along the coasts of Africa in 1907. Their interactions with the nature, people, and animals of the land are interesting and precarious. This is a detailed catalogue of his experiences, written with Davis’s usual flair for excitement, drama, and attention to detail.

Based upon Davis’s years as a first-rate war correspondent, the book provides a colorful and dramatic account of key military operations in the Spanish-American War. His account of Teddy Roosevelt’s charge up San Juan Hill thrusts the reader right into the dramatic action. Davis, whose writing did much to further the mystique of the Rough Riders, was also made an honorary member.

First published in 1897, this is Davis’s personal account of the guerilla warfare that played a part in the Cuban War of Independence. With his singular journalistic style that made him one of the best-known war correspondents of his day, Davis delivers a graphic, dramatic account of this turbulent time in history.

An ambitious adventure story that follows Captain Macklin—called one of Davis’s most fascinating heroes—through a South American revolution and a maze of  military maneuvers. Written with the robust vivacity and “man’s man” perspective for which Davis is well-known, Captain Macklin is an epic adventure. 

First published in 1906, Real Soldiers of Fortune is a collection of early biographies of famous (and infamous) soldiers. Here are portraits of Major-General Henry Ronald Douglas MacIver; Major Frederick Russell Burnham; General William Walker; Captain Philo Norton McGiffin; Winston Spencer Churchill;...

When he wasn’t trekking the globe as a war correspondent, Davis produced works of fiction that earned him enormous popularity in his day. Published in 1894, Exiles and Other Stories collected such stories as, “The Other Woman,” “The Last Ride Together,” the title story, and more. In all six he draws upon his world travels in exciting tales of adventure and daring.

Davis’ journalistic skills shine in this account of the time he spent reporting on the Second Boer War where, as an American, he had the unique opportunity to see the war firsthand from both the British and Boer perspectives.

These riveting accounts of war-time battles and events are an invaluable firsthand look at history in the making. Davis reported from front lines all over the globe, including Greek-Turkish War, the Spanish-American War, the Second Boer War, and the First World War.

An engrossing account of a King who is dethroned and has to suffer humiliation. This is a unique work that motivates the reader to delve into his own personality. With deep insight into emotions and feelings this is a classic work by Davis.
