Charles

Anderson Dana (August 8, 1819

– October 17, 1897) was an American journalist,

author, and senior government official. He was a top aide to Horace

Greeley as the managing editor of the powerful Republican newspaper New York

Tribune until 1862. During the American Civil War, he served as Assistant

Secretary of War, playing especially the role of the liaison between the War

Department and General Ulysses S. Grant. In 1868 he became the editor

and part-owner of the New York Sun. He at first appealed to working class

Democrats but after 1890 became a champion of business-oriented conservatism.

Dana was an avid art collector of paintings and porcelains

and boasted of being in possession of many items not found in several European

museums.
