Born into a literary family, with his mother Rebecca Harding Davis being a prominent writer, Richard was predestined for a career in writing. He attended Lehigh University and later Johns Hopkins University but found his true calling in journalism. Davis worked for several newspapers, eventually becoming a managing editor at Harper's Weekly.
