About Richard Harding Davis

When he was a young man, Richard went to the Episcopal Academy. In the year 1882, after one unhappy year at Swarthmore College, he transferred to Lehigh University, where H. Wilson Harding, his uncle, worked as a professor. While at Lehigh, Davis published his first book, a collection of short stories titled “The Adventures of My Freshman”. Many of the stories had appeared prior in the Lehigh Burr, the student magazine. He studied at Johns Hopkins and Lehigh Universities before he became a reporter for the Philadelphia Record. After a short stint working at the Philadelphia Press, he took a better paying gig at the New York Evening Sun where he got attention for his flamboyant style and writing on controversial topics like suicide, execution, and abortion. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Richard Harding Davis Works Books series, Richard Harding Davis has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
