A propos de l’auteur

Charles Anderson Dana (1819–1897) was an American journalist, editor, and senior government official, best recognized for his intellect and influential role during the Civil War era. Born in Hinsdale, New Hampshire, Dana attended Harvard but was forced to leave due to health issues. He then engaged in utopian socialist experiments at Brook Farm, subsequently turning to journalism which became his lifetime pursuit. As a prominent journalist, Dana served as the assistant secretary of war under Edwin M. Stanton during the Civil War, providing him with a unique vantage point to observe the intricacies of the conflict and the conduct of the war by the Union. Afterward, he became the editor and part owner of the ‘New York Sun’. Dana’s book, ‘Recollections of the Civil War’ (1898), offers incisive and vivid accounts of his wartime experiences and interactions with major historical figures. His literary style is characterized by its forthright and detailed reporting, which is exemplified in his memoir. Dana’s contributions to American journalism are marked by his intellectual independence and the depth of his firsthand knowledge of nineteenth-century American politics and society. His works remain valuable resources for historians and scholars interested in the perspectives of those who shaped and recorded the nation’s most tumultuous events.
