Signature

William Eleroy Curtis (November 5, 1850 – October 5, 1911) was an American journalist, author, diplomat, political activist, and exhibitor. He was a prominent proponent of Pan-Americanism.[2] Curtis' partisan reporting earned him patronage appointments and advanced his ideological goals.[3] His career reflected the influence of bias, cronyism, and imperialism on journalism during the Gilded Age.[4] Curtis held a series of leadership roles in the State Department, as well as the supranational organizations which anticipated the Organization of American States.[5]
