As a journalist George Warrington Steevens distinguished himself by his clearness of vision and vivid style, and was connected successively with the National Observer, The Pall Mall Gazette, and, from 1896, the Daily Mail. He was the most famous war correspondent of his time, before being eclipsed by the daring escape of young Churchill from a Pretoria prison.
