John Denison Champlin (1834 - 1915)
États-Unis

John Denison Champlin, Jr. (29 January 1834 - 8 January 1915[1]) was a non-fiction writer and editor from the United States. As an editor, he worked in journalism and graphic arts.

He was born in Stonington, Connecticut, the son of a father of the same name and mother Sylvia (Bostwick) Champlin. His father had worked on the construction of railroads in the western United States during their early history.[2] Champlin was educated at the Hopkins grammar school of New Haven, and at Yale University, where he graduated in 1856. In the following year, he began the study of law in the office of Gideon H. Hollister (also a Yale graduate), Litchfield, Connecticut, and was admitted to the bar in Litchfield in April 1859.[2] After practicing law for a short time in Milwaukee,[2] he moved to New York City, where Gideon Hollister was now located, and became a member of the firm of Hollister, Cross & Champlin.

In the autumn of 1860, what seemed an advantageous business offer took him to New Orleans, where he was a witness during the following spring of the opening scenes of secession in that city. Satisfied that New Orleans was no place for the practice of his profession, he returned north in the autumn of 1861, and after some desultory literary work became, in 1864, associate editor of the Bridgeport, Connecticut, Standard, in charge of the literary department. In 1865 he established, in Litchfield, a weekly newspaper in the interest of the Democratic Party, entitled The Sentinel, which he edited until 1869.

In 1869, he sold The Sentinel and moved to New York City to enter upon other literary pursuits. He wrote for several periodicals until 1873, when he edited, from the papers of Joseph F. Loubat, secretary to Gustavus V. Fox in his mission to present the congratulations of the United States Congress to the Emperor Alexander II of Russia on his escape from assassination, a work entitled Fox's Mission to Russia (New York, 1873). In the same year he became a reviser and in 1875 associate editor of the American Cyclopædia, having special charge of the maps and engravings until the revision was completed.

In 1884 he visited Europe, and accompanied Andrew Carnegie in a trip by coach through southern England. He later became editor of Scribner's art cyclopædias.

In 1873 he married Franka Eliza Colvocoresses in Litchfield. She and a son survived him. He died at his home in New York City. His remains were interred in Litchfield. (Hide extended text) ... (Read all)
