English: David Hunter Strother (September 26, 1816 – March 8, 1888) was a United States magazine author and illustrator, popularly known by his pseudonym, Porte Crayon. He contributed to The Crayon, a journal devoted to the graphic arts and literature and edited by John Durand (1822-1908), the son of Asher B. Durand, which was published with the help of William J. Stillman in New York between 1855 and 1861. In 1858, Strother assumed the pen name Porte Crayon while illustrating travelogues for Harper’s Monthly. In 1861, Harper’s sent him to the South to cover the Civil War. He accompanied the Confederate Army for a while and published in Harper's an account of the Confederate raid on Harper’s Ferry illustrated with his sketch, "The Burning of the United States Arsenal at Harper’s Ferry, 10 P.M., April 18, 1861." Then, he joined the Union Army where he served on the staff of several generals, including his cousin David Hunter, as a topographer. Commissioned a captain in 1862, he became a colonel after assuming command of the 3rd (West) Virginia Cavalry, and was brevetted a brigadier-general of volunteers for meritorious service at the end of the Civil War. In 1866-1868, Harper’s Monthly published eleven installments of Strother’s "Personal Recollections of the War" under his pseudonym, Porte Crayon.
