(Born: March 6, 1810 - Died: February 4, 1866)

American journalist and novelist. He was born in Baltimore, MD. During the Civil War, he served as a clerk for the confederacy, but his criticism of Davis as president caused a good deal of friction. After the way, he moved north, to Burlington, NJ, where he died, just before his diary of the Civil War years was published.
