Charles Anderson Dana (August 8, 1819 - October 17, 1897) was an American journalist, author, and government official, best known for his association with Ulysses S. Grant during the American Civil War and his aggressive political advocacy after the war. Dana was in many ways the most brilliant journalist in the country during much of his life. He had a brilliant intellect, a finished and incisive style, and a gift for mordant irony. He thoroughly understood every detail of the art of making a good newspaper. [ citation needed ]
