Notes of a War Correspondent
The Cuban-Spanish war -- The Greek-Turkish war -- The Spanish-American war -- The South African war -- The Japanese-Russian war -- A war correspondent's kit
Transcribed from the 1911 Harper and Brothers edition by David Price
"Notes of a War Correspondent" by Richard Harding Davis is a collection of war accounts written in the late 19th century. The text provides detailed eyewitness narratives of various battles, including the Cuban-Spanish War, the Greek-Turkish War, and the Spanish-American War, through the perspective of the author himself as a correspondent. The work captures the gritty realities of war, focusing on themes of valor, suffering, and the emotional weight borne by those caught in the tumult of conflict. The opening portion introduces us to the tragic execution of a young Cuban insurgent, Adolfo Rodriguez, who stands condemned by the Spanish military. Through Davis's poignant description, we witness not just the physical setting of the execution—the moonlit plain, the silent soldiers, and the somber atmosphere—but also the dignity and courage of Rodriguez as he faces his death. Davis positions himself as a sympathetic observer, highlighting the boy's youthful innocence, fearlessness, and the tragedy of his sacrifice—inviting readers to reflect on the human cost of war and the haunting echoes of courage amidst despair.

Reading ease score: 71.6 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
