Richard Harding Davis (1864-1916) was a writer and journalist best known for his involvement in the William Randolph Hearst's unproven plot to start the Spanish-American War in order to boost newspaper sales. Despite his association with Yellow journalism, his writings of life and travel in Central America and the Carribean have remained a vivid portrait of the time.

Some of his works include:

  • Notes Of A War Correspondent
  • Cuba in War Time
  • The West From A Car Window
  • Three Gringos in Venezuela

Some of his works are in the Public domain. See also Project Gutenberg and "Not likely sent: The Remington-Hearst 'telegrams'".
