| |
| 1887–1920, American journalist and radical leader, b. Portland, Oregon. The articles that he wrote from Mexico about Pancho Villa established his reputation as a journalist and a radical. He served as a reporter in Europe in World War I and was in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg) when the Bolsheviks seized power in 1917; his book, Ten Days That Shook the World (1919), is considered the best eyewitness account of the revolution. He died in Moscow of typhus and was buried at the Kremlin.—continue at Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. Copyright © 2002 Columbia University Press. |
