He was born in Lowville, N. Y. , in 1819, the son of Stephen William and Eunice (Scranton) Taylor. His father in the last five years of his life was president of Madison (later Colgate) University, Hamilton, New York.
He graduated from Hamilton Literary and Theological Institute (later Madison University) in 1838.
Young Taylor went to Michigan seeking employment. After three years of hardship, fighting poverty and malaria, because of ill health unable to gain a foothold in that pioneer environment, he returned to New York and for several years taught school in Springville, Norwich, and other places. In 1845 he went to Chicago, where he soon became literary editor of the recently established Chicago Daily Journal. During the last two years of the Civil War he served as war correspondent for the Journal, and his realistic reports of the battles of Missionary Ridge, Lookout Mountain, and other engagements, widely copied by other papers, gave him a national reputation. These accounts were published under the title Mission Ridge and Lookout Mountain, with Pictures of Life in Camp and Field (1872).
Severing his connection with the Journal in 1865, Taylor left Wheaton, Ill. , where he had been living, and became a free-lance writer and lecturer, making his home at Laporte, Ind. , Dunkirk and Syracuse, N. Y. , and, for the last six years of his life, in Cleveland, Ohio. He wrote three travel books, The World on Wheels (1874), Summer-Savory (1879), and Between the Gates (1878), the latter describing a transcontinental trip by rail, Attractions of Language (1842), January and June (1854), and a novel, Theophilus Trent (1887), based on his early school-teaching experiences in Michigan, which was published shortly after his death.
His volumes of verse--Old-Time Pictures and Sheaves of Rhyme (1874), Songs of Yesterday (1875), and Dulce Domum (1884), all included in Complete Poetical Works (1886)--touched the popular fancy and taste, were widely quoted, and brought their author wide recognition. His themes, chiefly drawn from farm life, the rural home, the days of the spinning wheel and the singing school, expressed the sentiment of the common people.
He contributed both prose and verse to the Atlantic Monthly, Harper's Monthly Magazine, Scribner's Monthly, and other magazines. He had the friendship of many prominent men of his day, and his writings were widely reviewed at home and abroad. Whittier especially praised his ability to reproduce the scenes of long ago.
He died in Cleveland, Ohio.

He was painfully diffident and shy and utterly lacking in oratorical graces. Taylor was of medium height, thick-set, smooth-shaven in a bewhiskered era. He was a brilliant conversationalist, and had a cordial, sympathetic nature that won him friends.
He was married at Brooklyn, Mich. , on September 2, 1839, to Mary Elizabeth Bromley (d. July 2, 1848), seventeen-year-old daughter of Isaac Bromley of Norwich, Connecticut. On June 7, 1852, he married Lucy E. Leaming, daughter of Daniel M. Leaming of Laporte, Ind.
