Alexander St. Clair Abrams (1845-1931) was a writer who owned newspapers and railroads in the Southern United States and also published under the names A. S. Abrams and A. Sinclair Abrams. He was known as a "volcanic Creole". During the American Civil War, he served in Company A. Withers' Light Artillery, as a private at the Siege of Vicksburg. In 1862 he was discharged from the army on account of sickness and being unable to return to his home, New Orleans, obtained a position in the office of the Vicksburg Whig where he remained until its destruction by fire in the early part of 1863, and was taken prisoner and paroled after the surrender when he moved on to Atlanta. While there he was associated with Jared Whitaker's Daily Intelligencer and published a description of Vicksburg's capture and a novel called The Trials of the Soldier's Wife (1864). After the war, he took the loyalty oath and moved to New York City. By 1870, he was the foreign editor of the New York Herald. His health broke, and after founding the Daily Herald in Atlanta he settled in Florida, where he was a prominent lawyer.
