ske,ch Of MIR. Richardson.


Mr.. Richardson was a native of New England,
and brother of the editor and proprietor of a
religious journal in Boston. He was the secret
correspondent of the Tribune in the South while
the acts of secession were being passed there,
and the army correspondent of the Tribune in
the West during the war. While in the dis
charge of the duties OF that position he was cap
tured, and suffered confinement for time in
both Libby and Salisbury prisons. He escaped
from them, and, crossing the country, reached
the Union lines. Soon afterwards he published
the 'Field, Dungeon, and Escape" n book
which has reached the extraordinary circulation
Of 96, 600 copies. He subsequently published the
life of General Grant, regarded us one Of the
most complete of the many books written about
that distinguished General. On the opening of
the Pacific Railroad, MIR. Richardson was sent
over that road by the Tribune, and gave to that
newspaper much interesting correspondence, re-
plete with facts not previously known in rea-
tion to the Far West. He also published a work
entitled Beyond the Mississippi, (which already
has obtained a circulation of 10000 copies.
\ Recently Mr. Richardson was sent by the
Tribune to Chicago, St. Louis and other places
in the West and Southwest, and the results of
his observations in those sections OF the country
have appeared. Mr.. Richardson was for many
years known as one of the most industrious
workers on the press, and his writings have
always been noted for their simplicity and power
of expression, and for the great amount of valu-
able and interesting information they contain
