I have been digging up some facts about Allen Sangree

He worked with Richard Harding Davis in reporting on the Boer War
- In the "Adventures and Letters of Richard Harding Davis Letters" Sangree is mentioned.
- Allen Sangree wrote an article on Richard Harding Davis for the Ainslee magazine
- In the book 'The Churchhill Legend', the following line appears

Richard Harding Davis, Peter macqueen, and Allen Sangree were reputable reporters, whose stories were read in America and, in the main, flatly contradicted ...

- "He'd [John McGraw] also recently encountered Allen Sangree of the New York Evening World in a hotel lobby, cursed the reporter out, and ended by twisting his nose. ..." (from the biography of John McGraw)

~~Need to determine the exact college he attended. Name ambiguity for Pennsylvania College.~~ Found his name in the alumni information for Gettysburg College. Gettysburg college was originally named Pennsylvania College prior to the US Civil War CheyenneWills 13:05, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note that there are references of Allen having at one time lived in Steelton and Arendtsville Pennsylvania, which fits with the Sangree family history CheyenneWills 16:55, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting finds[edit]

Some one pointed me to the Library of Congress which has scanned (and searchable) copies of the New York Evening World from 1900 through 1910. I have found around 180 hits on the name Sangree.

Items to look further into:

Dec 5th 1909 edition of the New York Sun has an article about Allen Sangree being the toastmaster for James M Groff the dean of New York Reporters at his retirement http://www.loc.gov/chroniclingamerica/lccn/sn83030272/1909-12-05/ed-1/seq-10

Might have worked at some point around 1911 or 1914 for the New York Journal - see reference to BaseBall Writers Assoc.

Would like to find out more about his death. The NY Times obit mentions that he had been hospitalized for about two years due to a break down

I'm still doing some research, so I am leaving the status of the main article as underconstruction, but the edits may be a little more spaced out at the moment CheyenneWills 16:47, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
