Elmer Davis
(1890 – 1958)
News reporter and commentator and novelist 1890 - 1958
Born in Aurora, Indiana, Elmer Davis began his news career in high school-writing for the "Aurora Bulletin". A Rhodes Scholar, he later met his Florence MacMillian in Britain and then married her in 1917. Returning to the US in the early teens, he worked as an editor for "Adventure Magazine" and then later for the "New York Times".
He began appearing on sporadic radio reports until 1939 when Roosevelt appointed him head of the OWI (Office of War Information). This collection represents his brilliantly-delivered and opinionated five-minute news reports from 1939 through 1941 - reporting and analyzing news of the day (primarily the Nazi invasion across Europe).
