Edwards, and under the pen name Holland) (1847 – April 25, 1924) was a well-known investigative journalist and financial reporter of the late 19th and early 20th century.[1] He broke the story in 1893 of President Grover Cleveland's secret cancer surgery aboard his friend Elias Cornelius Benedict's yacht Utowana, which the administration denied.[2][3][4]
