Born on April 18, 1864, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Davis studied at Lehigh University and later at Johns Hopkins University, though he did not graduate. His foray into writing began with his role as a journalist, working for the Philadelphia Record and subsequently the Philadelphia Press. His travels and on-site reporting from locations of turmoil and conflict, such as the Spanish-American War and the First World War, informed much of his literary work.
