Papers, 1828-1963 (Warner, Charles Dudley) WWWA, v. 1, 1897-1942 (Warner, Charles Dudley; b. 1829; lawyer; editor; and author; of Hartford, Conn.; d. 1900) In the Levant, 1901: title page (Charles Dudley Warner) Wikipedia, August 13, 2013 (Charles Dudley Warner (September 12, 1829 - October 20, 1900); American essayist, novelist, and friend of Mark Twain; born in Plainfield, Massachusetts; graduated from Hamilton College, Clinton, N.Y.; editor (1861-1867) of The Hartford Press; died in Hartford [Conn.]) American national biography online, February 28, 2020 (Warner, Charles Dudley (12 September 1829-20 October 1900), author and editor, was born in Plainfield, Massachusetts, the son of Justus Warner and Sylvia Hitchcock, farmers. In 1837, three years after her husband died, Sylvia Warner took her two sons to a guardian in Charlemont, Massachusetts, and, in 1841, on to her brother in Cazenovia, New York. Warner attended classes at the Oneida Conference Seminary in Cazenovia, enrolled at Hamilton College, and graduated in 1851 with a B.A. While still a student he published articles in the Knickerbocker Magazine and was inspired by the favorable reception of his commencement speech to publish The Book of Eloquence: A Collection of Extracts in Prose and Verse, from the Most Eloquent Orators and Poets & (1853). After a stint as a railroad surveyor in Missouri in 1853-1854, Warner lived with an uncle in Binghamton, New York, worked as a real-estate conveyancer, and read law. In 1856 he received a bachelor's degree in law from the University of Pennsylvania. That same year Warner married Susan Lee; the couple had no children. He practiced in Chicago from 1858 to 1860; Warner became an associate editor of the Hartford Evening Press, a Republican paper newly established by Joseph Roswell Hawley, whom he had met at the Oneida seminary and who was also a Hamilton alumnus. When the Civil War began, Hawley joined the Union army, whereupon Warner--too nearsighted for military service--was promoted to editor in chief. In 1867 he became part owner and editor of the Hartford Courant, which absorbed the Evening Press; My Winter on the Nile: Among the Mummies and Moslems and In the Levant (both 1876) are the best of his several travel books; published two biographies; was a contributing editor of Harper's New Monthly Magazine from 1884 to 1898) <https://doi.org/10.1093/anb/9780198606697.article.1601721>
