Robert Edmund Strahorn
Robert Edmund Strahorn (May 15, 1852 – March 31, 1944) is notable in American history as a war correspondent with the New York Times, Chicago Tribune and the Rocky Mountain News during the Great Sioux War of 1876–1877, a scout and publicist for the Union Pacific Railroad, and a visionary builder of the Pacific Northwest. Strahorn was a journalist and adventurer who shaped images of the American West. No man knew the West as he knew it, and few persons had a more active or important if less prominent part in the building of the West.〔Oliver Knight, “Robert E. Strahorn, Propagandist for the West,” (hereinafter “Propagandist for the West”) Pacific Northwest Quarterly, (January 1968), p. 33. See “‘Mothering’ The West: A Woman’s Experiences in Thirty Years of Pathfinding and Pioneering When the Region was in its Infancy,” (hereinafter “Mothering the West”), The New York Times, August 20, 1911; and M.I. McCreight, “The Wigwam: Puffs from the Peace Pipe”, ‘Three Greatest American Scouts’, (1943), p. 15.〕
== Early life ==
Robert Edmund Strahorn was born near Bellefonte, Centre County, Pennsylvania, on May 15, 1852. Strahorn spent the first four years of his life in Pennsylvania, and was then taken by his parents to a farm in northern Illinois. Strahorn’s educational privileges were limited and he attended school until ten years of age. In his youth he sold papers on the streets, then began learning the printer's trade in Sedalia, Missouri, following that occupation for five years. At the age of 18, Strahorn was advised by a physician to move to the Rocky Mountains for his health, and in 1870 moved to Denver, Colorado.〔See "Spokane and The Spokane Country - Pictorial and Biographical - Deluxe Supplement." Vol. II. The S.J. Clarke Publishing Company, 1912, at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jtenlen/restrahorn.html.〕 He tried is luck at being a cowboy, but abandoned the attempt when a bronco bucked him off leaving him with a lifelong injury, presumably a hernia. In 1871, Strahorn joined the Rocky Mountain News staff and worked as reporter, editor and correspondent until 1877.〔“Propagandist for the West”, p. 33.〕
