Frazier Hunt
American correspondent
Frazier Hunt (December 1, 1885 – December 24, 1967) was an American radio announcer, writer and war correspondent during World War I and World War II.

Biography
Hunt was born in Rock Island, Illinois. He spent his boyhood in Indiana, Chicago and Mexico. In 1908, Hunt graduated from the University of Illinois with an A.B. degree. After writing for newspapers and magazines in Chicago until 1910, he found work as a sugar cane planter in southern Mexico. In 1913, Hunt returned to the small mid-western town of Alexis, Illinois to edit the local paper. It was with this background that he came to New York City in 1916 and joined the staff of The Sun. From New York he went to France and from there to Russia where for months he had the Revolution all to himself. In 1919, he smuggled a copy of the Treaty of Versailles, scooping the story. He served as the European editor for Cosmoplitan Magazine, interviewing Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, and Adolf Hitler.
