George Washburn Smalley (1833-1916) was an American journalist who was educated at Yale and Harvard Law School. He made his name as a battlefield correspondent for the New York Tribune during the American Civil War, famously reporting on the Battle of Antietam, and in 1866 established a London office of the paper where his dandyism and ability to adapt himself to aristocratic and Tory circles, thus abandoning his former liberal outlook, earned him admiration. His accounts of the 1880 opening of Parliament and Queen Vicotria's Golden Jubilee are examples of the best journalism of the time. However, his strong expression of personal opinion in the Tribune irritated his editors and ultimately contributed to his forced resignation in 1895. From 1895-1906 he reported from New York for The Times in London but, having become a strong Anglophobe which twisted his reporting, he was dismissed by the Times in 1906, after which he moved back to London where he resided until his death. This book of Smiley's Anglo-American Memories is a collection of pieces which first appeared in the New York Tribune over the course of his long career, including the Civil War period and his association with celebrated figures on both sides of the Atlantic such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Wendell Phillips, Lord Kitchener, Lord Randolph Churchill, and King Edward VII.
