Dana, Charles A(nderson)
born Aug. 8, 1819, Hinsdale, N.H., U.S.
died Oct. 17, 1897, Glen Cove, N.Y.

U.S. journalist.

Dana lived at the utopian Brook Farm community for five years in the 1840s before becoming an editor for Horace Greeley's New York Tribune, where he actively promoted the antislavery cause. He became a national figure as editor and part owner of the New York Sun (1868–97), which under his control was much admired and imitated. With George Ripley, he edited the New American Cyclopaedia (1857–63). He also edited a highly successful verse anthology and wrote books such as The Art of Newspaper Making (1895).
