Sidney Andrews
Edit Profile
also known as Dixon
journalist
Sidney Andrews was an American journalist.
Background
Sidney Andrews was born on October 7, 1835 in Sheffield, Massachussets, United States. The oldest of four children, he was born to Charles Henry Andrews and Nancy (Noble) Andrews. In Sheffield his father followed the trade of carpenter and joiner until his death in 1846. After the father's death young Andrews left Massachusetts to join a relative in Dixon, Illinois.
Education
He attended the University of Michigan 1856-1859 but was forced to withdraw before he received his degree, owing to the failure of the bank in which he had placed his earnings.
From the age of thirteen he had written for the press, and upon leaving college he served as assistant editor and later as editor of the Daily Courier, Alton, Illinois.
"In September-November 1865 he visited the Carolinas and Georgia as special correspondent, and his letters to the Boston and Chicago papers were brought together in 1866 in a 400-page volume--The South Since the War, his most notable achievement. Andrews's observations in the South were intelligent and orderly and the book furnished valuable information on the social and political conditions in the states he visited. His conclusions were, however, flavored with anti-Southern sentiment." - prabook
