Dale L. Walker
$21.21 $24.95

Januarius MacGahan (1844-1878) had an incandescent career as a foreign correspondent, covering the Franco-Prussian, Carlist, and Russo-Turkish wars, a Russian incursion into Central Asia, and even an arctic expedition. His reports on the "Bulgarian Atrocities" of 1876 earned him the inscription on his grave marker in New Lexington, Ohio: "Liberator of Bulgaria."
