Alexander H. St. Clair-Abrams (March 10, 1845–1931) was an attorney, politician, and writer who owned newspapers and railroads in the Southern United States and also published under the names A.S. Abrams and A. Sinclair Abrams. ==Civil War== Born in New Orleans, he was known as a "volcanic Creole". During the American Civil War, he served in Company A. Withers' Light Artillery (in Carter L. Stevenson's division), as a Private at the Siege of Vicksburg. In September, 1862 he was discharged from the army on account of sickness and being unable to return to his home, New Orleans, obtained a position in the office of the ''Vicksburg Whig'' where he remained until its destruction by fire in the early part of May 1863, and was taken prisoner and paroled after the surrender when he moved on briefly to Mobile, Alabama, then to Atlanta where he quickly settled.〔Harwell, Richard (ed.), The Confederate Reader: How the South Saw the War, Dover, 1989, p.196〕 At first in Atlanta he was associated with Jared Whitaker's ''Daily Intelligencer'' and using their presses published in late 1863 an eighty-page description of Vicksburg's capture and then a novel called ''The Trials of the Soldier's Wife''. In 1864, he again soldiered to protect a city under siege, this time Atlanta and fought the Battle of Jonesboro where he was wounded and no longer fit to bear arms.
