George W. Smalley

One of the most widely read American foreign correspondents of the nineteenth century, Smalley was greatly admired, especially for his revolutionary handling of war news. Working more than thirty-five years for the New York Tribune and later as American representative for the London Times, he wrote innovative profiles of Theodore Roosevelt and French socialist Louis Blanc; his dispatches from the Battle of Antietam, the 1880 opening of Parliament, and Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee are examples of the best journalism of the time.
