Obituary for London Journalist Frederick W. Chesson

Frederick W. Chesson, a London journalist who died at 54, earned honor for his Civil War era efforts to sway English sentiment toward the North and to resist recognition of the Confederacy. As co editor of the Morning Star and secretary of the Emancipation Society, he worked with leading reformers to expose injustices and press for reform across colonies and native races, including India and Africa.
