A Stone Testimony to Honour Fallen Journalists: The National War Correspondents

The National War Correspondents Memorial, located in Crampton's Gap in Gathland State Park, Maryland, is a tribute to journalists who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Built by Civil War correspondent George Alfred Townsend, better known as Gath, in 1896 and dedicated on October 16 of the same year, it stands as the sole monument in the United States dedicated to journalists killed in combat. Initially designed to honour 157 journalists and artists, local historian Timothy J. Reese determined that only 135 can truly claim to be war correspondents. In 2003, four more names were added to the monument: David Bloom, Michael Kelly, Elizabeth Neuffer, and Daniel Pearl.
