  • Poultney Bigelow (10 September 1855 – 28 May 1954) was an American journalist and author. He was born in New York City, the fourth of eight children of John Bigelow, lawyer, statesman, and co-owner of the New York Evening Post, and his wife Jane Tunis Poultney. In 1861, at the beginning of the Civil War, when Bigelow was six years old, his father was appointed United States consul in Paris, and subsequently (1865) Minister to France, and Poultney was sent to a Potsdam preparatory school. While there he became a friend of Prince Wilhelm and his younger brother, Prince Henry, playing "Cowboys and Indians" with them in the schoolyard. His friendship and correspondence with the Kaiser continued throughout their lives, though their relations became somewhat more reserved just before World War I as a result of some of the opinions expressed in Bigelow's articles. For a time, Bigelow was an admirer of both Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini — an admiration which ended when they demonstrated their violent natures. Bigelow entered Yale College in 1873. For reasons of health, he took a two-year leave from studies, sailing for the Orient, which left him shipwrecked off the coast of Japan. He returned to Yale and graduated in 1879. He obtained a law degree from Columbia Law School and practiced briefly. His chief occupation from the 1880s till his retirement in 1906 was as an author and journalist. He traveled extensively, and wrote often on the subject. He was a London correspondent for several American publications and was correspondent for The Times (of London) in Cuba during the Spanish–American War. He was a voluminous correspondent with the leading figures of the day, including Roger Casement, Henry George, Mark Twain, Geraldine Farrar, Percy Grainger, Frederic Remington, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Israel Zangwill and George S. Viereck. He was the author of eleven books, including a two-volume autobiography, and several on history and colonial administration. He founded the first American magazine devoted to amateur sports, Outing, in 1885. Bigelow married twice. His first wife, with whom he had three daughters, was Edith Evelyn Joffrey (Jaffray)[1889 NY Social Register]. They married 16 April 1884, and divorced in 1902. His second wife, Lillian Pritchard, was a librarian in the library founded by John Bigelow at Malden. She died on 1 December 1932. He retired to his family's home at Malden-on-Hudson. In 1930, at the age of 74, he noted that "it's hell to live so long", but still made annual trips to visit the former Kaiser at Doorn. He entered the Dale Sanitarium on 14 January 1954, where he died at the age of 98, at which time he was Yale's oldest alumnus, and the oldest member of the Athenaeum of London. (en)
  • Полтни Бигелоу (англ. Poultney Bigelow; 10 сентября 1855 — 28 мая 1954) — американский журналист и литератор. Бигелоу родился в г. Нью-Йорке. Был четвертым из восьми детей в семье Джона Бигелоу, совладельца New York Evening Post, и его жены Джейн Тунис Поултни. В 1861 году, в начале Гражданской войны, когда Бигелоу было шесть лет, его отец был назначен консулом США в Париже, а затем (1865) посланником во Франции, а Поултни был отправлен в Потсдамскую подготовительную школу. Находясь там, он подружился с принцем Вильгельмом и с его младшим братом, принцем Генри, играя с ними в ковбоев и индейцев на школьном дворе. Его дружба и переписка с кайзером продолжались на протяжении всей их жизни, хотя их отношения стали несколько более сдержанными непосредственно перед Первой мировой войной из-за некоторых точек зрения, высказанных в статьях Бигелоу. Некоторое время Бигелоу был поклонником как Адольфа Гитлера и Бенито Муссолини — это восхищение закончилось, когда диктаторы продемонстрировали свое истинное лицо. В 1873 году Бигелоу поступил в . По состоянию здоровья он воспользовался двухлетним академическим отпуском и отправился путешествовать в Азию, попав у берегов Японии в кораблекрушение. Он вернулся в Йельский университет и окончил его в 1879 году. Бигелоу получил юридическое образование в Колумбийской юридической школе и некоторое время практиковал как адвокат. Его основным занятием с 1880-х годов до его ухода от дел в 1906 году были литература и журналистика. (ru)
  • Poultney Bigelow, född den 10 september 1855 i New York, död den 28 maj 1954, var en nordamerikansk skriftställare, son till John Bigelow. Bigelow uppfostrades i Tyskland 1870–73 och trädde därunder i nära vänskapsförhållande till prins Vilhelm, samt graduerades 1875 vid Yaleuniversitetet, varefter han i segelbåt anträdde en äventyrlig världsomsegling, vilken avbröts genom en sjöolycka vid Japans kust. Senare gjorde Bigelow vidsträckta resor, bland annat kanotfärder på en mängd större europeiska floder och en till hälften på officiellt uppdrag företagen resa i Ryssland (1892, som tvärt avbröts genom hans utvisning), färder till Kina, Syd-Afrika med flera länder. År 1898 var han krigskorrespondent på Kuba åt "The Times" och "New York Herald" samt gjorde sig genom sin skarpa kritik af den amerikanska krigsledningen så misshaglig för denna, att han måste lämna ön. Bigelow skrev bland annat Paddles and politics down the Danube (1892), The borderland of Czar and Kaiser (1894), History of the german struggle for liberty (2 band, 1896), White man's Africa (1897) och The children of the nations, study of colonization (1901).
