Rebecca Harding Davis’s Human Stories of the Civil War
No full textThe decades leading up to the Civil War were fabulously rich ones for American literature—an “American Renaissance” in the words of literary scholar F. O. Matthiessen. During this era, some of the nation’s writers—notably Harriet Beecher Stowe, but also Henry David Thoreau and John Greenleaf Whittier— weighed in on the wedge that was driving North and South apart.
One American writer, Rebecca Harding, known today by her married name, Rebecca Harding Davis, had an intimate acquaintance with the war, and she did not have to leave home to acquire it. When the war began in 1861, she was living in the city of Wheeling, then still a part of Virginia. Wheeling lay in a border region, and people in this part of the country had an uncommon perspective on the conflict. Harding wrote, “We occupied the place of Hawthorne’s unfortunate man who saw both sides.”
As an author who lived with the Civil War at close hand, Rebecca Harding Davis not only “saw both sides” but also saw the sordidness of the war and of the men—and women—involved in it. This intimacy with the war naturally led to a great deal of knowledge about its incidents and participants, as well as some serious reflection about motivations and consequences. Davis covered the Civil War from the position of a reporter on the ground, one who saw the devastation as it occurred; but rather than cover the battles themselves, as newspapers were doing, she chose to explore the human stories behind and around the war

'The Threatened Blunder' newspaper clipping, February 11, 1921
No full textPublished in the February 11, 1921, issue of the New York Tribune, this article titled "The Threatened Blunder" criticizes President-elect Warren G. Harding's choices for his cabinet. The author states Americans hoped Harding would choose well qualified cabinet members with nationally recognized success and experience, unlike President Woodrow Wilson's cabinet, like Elihu Root, Leonard Wood, and Herbert Hoover. However, it appears Harding is mostly considering personal friends and others who have not earned the public's confidence. According to the author, the only well deserved predicted members are Charles Evans Hughes, who would be appointed Secretary of State, and Will H. Hays, who would be appointed Postmaster General.
