Biographical History

David Rankin Barbee was born Oct. 15, 1874, in Murfreesboro, Tenn., son of the Rev. John Dodson and Margaret Overson Rankin Barbee. He attended Emory and Henry College, without receiving a degree. In 1896 Barbee began a career in journalism with the Nashville Banner. He subsequently worked for newspapers in Memphis, Chattanooga, Montgomery, Mobile, New Orleans and Ashville. Barbee came to Washington, D.C. as a feature writer for the Washington Post in 1928. He joined the F.D. Roosevelt administration in 1933 as a public relations writer for the Federal Alcohol Administration. From his retirement in 1942 until his death, Barbee devoted his time to historical research. His interests, while unusually catholic, centered on Abraham Lincoln, John Wilkes Booth, confederate spy Rose O'Neil Greenhow, and on Southern history in general. Barbee died in Orange, Tex., March 7, 1958.
