William Wilkins Glenn

William Wilkins Glenn (July 20, 1824 - June 24, 1876) was a journalist, newspaper proprietor, and Confederate sympathizer from Baltimore, Maryland.

Shortly before the start of the war, Glenn became part owner of Baltimore's Daily Exchange with the hope of spreading pro-southern public opinion throughout Maryland.

[2][3][4] Glenn continued to agitate on behalf of the Confederacy, causing him to flee Maryland for England and France for portions of the war.

[1] Glenn died at his home on the corner of Charles and Madison streets in Baltimore on June 24, 1876, from Bright's disease.
