On The Great Highway - James Creelman

One of the creators of "yellow journalism" at the turn of the 20th century -- and proud of it -- James Creelman became the first American journalist to interview the pope, accompanied the Japanese in their war with China, visited Tolstoy at his home in Russia, got wounded in the Philippines as a correspondent in the Spanish-American War (he was taunting the Spanish after the Americans had seized their flag), pow-wowed with Sitting Bull, and reported on the death of President McKinley at the hands of an assassin. With the sharp, clipped writing of a master journalist, Creelman tells the story of his times, and of the part he played in that story.
