Biography
Richard Harding Davis (18 April 1864 - 11 April 1916) was a writer and journalist best known for his involvement in the William Randolph Hearst's unproven plot to start the Spanish-American War in order to boost newspaper sales. Despite his association with Yellow journalism, his writings of life and travel in Central America and the Caribbean have remained a vivid portrait of the time.
