Biographical / Historical

Eleanor Early was born the second of six children in Newton, Massachusetts, on April 27, 1895, to JamesA. Early and Sarah (Dolan) Early. Her mother worked in advertising before raising the children. Earlygrew up in Wellesley, Massachusetts. After high school she attended Miss Wheelock's KindergartenTraining School in Boston. Upon graduating in 1917, Early started teaching kindergarten in herhometown.

Early began her career as a writer by working as a reporter and feature writer for three Bostonnewspapers, the Boston American, The Herald, and The Sunday Advertiser. In 1926 Early left herreporting jobs to travel, and in the next year she visited Egypt, Jerusalem, France, and Cuba. Followingher travels, she published three novels, Orchid (1929), The Shining Talent (1929), and Whirlwind(1930), as serial stories with the Newspaper Enterprise Association. She then combined her reporting andlove of travel by working for the International News Service (INS). As a correspondent Early traveledto the West Indies, Africa, New York City, and Washington, D.C. From the INS, Early moved intofreelancing, selling stories about her travels while living abroad in Dominica, Haiti, and Tortola.

Early wrote prolifically during the 1930s and early 1940s, and published ten books, mostly about travel:And This is Boston (1930), And This is Washington (1934), Behold the White Mountains (1935), AndThis is Cape Cod (1936), Ports of the Sun (1937), Adirondack Tales (1939), Lands of Delight (1939), A New England Sampler (1940), She Knew What He Wanted (1941), and An Island Patchwork (1941).

World War II impacted her ability to travel, and in 1942, she hosted a weekly radio show, in which sheaddressed news from Washington of interest to women. Her topics ranged from rationing, shortages, andprices to education, entertainment, and the effects of war on fashion.

After the war Early resumed her travels and writing. She subsequently published her most successfultravel books: New Orleans Holiday (1947) and New York Holiday (1950). During this period she alsowrote Cape Cod Summer (1949), the New England Cookbook (1954), and Washington Holiday(1955). In the 1960s Early shifted her focus to magazine articles, and she covered locals as diverse asKentucky and South Africa. She died in 1969.
