"Gallegher: A Newspaper Story is a pulse-pounding tale of grit, courage, and the relentless chase for truth—told through the eyes of one of literature’s most unforgettable young heroes. Gallegher isn’t your ordinary office boy. Street-smart, fearless, and full of fire, he’s the smallest member of the Press newsroom…but also the one with the biggest heart for a breaking story. When a prominent lawyer is found murdered and the prime suspect vanishes without a trace, every reporter in Philadelphia is buzzing—but it’s Gallegher who catches the scent that could crack the case wide open. What begins as a routine night in the newsroom explodes into a high-stakes pursuit involving criminal masterminds, undercover clues, a secret fight club, and a desperate race through a freezing, snow-choked city. Armed with nothing but his wits, determination, and a soaked notebook, Gallegher must outrun danger, dodge the police, outsmart a fugitive—and somehow “beat the town” back to the newsroom before the presses roll. Packed with humor, suspense, and heart, this classic Richard Harding Davis adventure captures the roaring energy of old-school journalism and the timeless thrill of chasing a story no one else can get. Narrated with vivid charm and cinematic tension by John Young, this production brings Gallegher’s world to life like never before. A must-listen for fans of classic adventure, newspaper noir, and underdog heroes with unstoppable grit."

Cuba in War Time

"Celebrating a decade of Columbia Global Reports, the Forerunners series revives groundbreaking works of investigative journalism and incisive analysis published a century before CGR's founding. These texts, once forgotten or underexplored, reflect CGR's core mission: fearless reporting, global perspective, and intellectual rigor. Each selection remains strikingly relevant today, offering historical insights that challenge contemporary perspectives and reaffirm the power of journalism to shape the world. Initially published in 1897, Cuba in War Time brought readers onto the battlefields with a style that was urgent, immersive, and unmistakably modern. Richard Harding Davis, the most famous journalist of his generation, filed vivid, morally charged dispatches, capturing everything from Spanish atrocities to the execution of a young Cuban rebel, and helped transform frontline reporting into a new literary form and a potent political force. Davis's work helped ignite public support for the Spanish-American War, and his account of the Battle of San Juan Hill turned a young Theodore Roosevelt into a national hero. Yet his work often blurred the line between fact and spectacle, revealing how easily journalism could be swept into the causes it chronicled. This edition reexamines Davis's legacy with a searching new introduction by Peter Maass, a celebrated war reporter himself. A foundational text in the history of American media, Cuba in War Time remains as gripping and unsettling as the events it describes."

The Princess Aline

"He was within two feet of the girl who had been called 'Aline.' She raised her head to speak, and saw Carlton staring open-eyed at her. She glanced at him for an instant, as if to assure herself that she did not know him, and then, turning to her brother, smiled in the same tolerant, amused way in which she had so often smiled upon Carlton from the picture."

The Boy Scout And Other Stories For Boys

"RICHARD HARDING DAVIS, as a friend and fellow author has written of him, was “youth incarnate,” and there is probably nothing that he wrote of which a boy would not some day come to feel the appeal. But there are certain of his stories that go with especial directness to a boy’s heart and sympathies and make for him quite unforgettable literature. A few of these were made some years ago into a volume, “Stories for Boys,” and found a large and enthusiastic special public in addition to Davis’s general readers; and the present collection from stories more recently published is issued with the same motive. This book takes its title from “The Boy Scout,” the first of its tales; and it includes “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” “Blood Will Tell,” the immortal “Gallegher,” and “The Bar Sinister,” Davis’s famous dog story. It is a fresh volume added to what Augustus Thomas calls “safe stuff to give to a young fellow who likes to take off his hat and dilate his nostrils and feel the wind in his face.” (Summary by Publisher's Note in book)"

My Buried Treasure

""This is a true story of a search for buried treasure. The only part that is not true is the name of the man with whom I searched for the treasure. Unless I keep his name out of it he will not let me write the story, and, as it was his expedition and as my share of the treasure is only what I can make by writing the story, I must write as he dictates. I think the story should be told, because our experience was unique, and might be of benefit to others. And, besides, I need the money." (From the text)"
