Everett Eugene Edwards was born on February 12, 1900 in Waltham Township, Mower County, Minnesota, United States. He was the son of Edward E. and Jennie Hunt Edwards. He grew up on a diversified farm in Waltham Township that consisted of 200 acres of black prairie soil.
His education began in a local one-room public school and continued through high schools in Brownsville and Northfield, both in Minnesota.
In 1917 he enrolled at Carleton College.
He then returned to Carleton College and in 1921 received the B. A. degree.
Edwards entered the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University in 1922, received the M. A. degree in 1924, and continued to take courses as opportunity allowed until 1927.
From 1921 to 1922 he taught in the high school at Grand Rapids, Michitgan.
The two Harvard faculty members who most influenced him were the historians Frederick Jackson Turner and Frederick Merk. From 1923 to 1925 Edwards was an instructor in history at Northwestern University. He later acknowledged his distaste for the religious conservatism that seemed to dominate the campus and city. Edwards' career as an agricultural historian began on July 1, 1927, when he joined the division of statistical and historical research in the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the United States Department of Agriculture.
In 1919 the Agricultural History Society was organized by interested department and university people, and in 1927 it inaugurated publication of the quarterly journal Agricultural History. Immediately Edwards assisted with the editing and publication of this periodical, and in 1931 became the editor, a post he held until 1952. His passionate devotion and editorial skill made the publication one of the country's most highly respected historical journals.
Shortly after joining the staff of the department, Edwards began teaching courses in agricultural history at its graduate school. Later he gave similar courses at American University. He also worked with graduate students who had come to Washington, D. C. , to use the city's scholarly resources. He had a marked influence upon both students and colleagues. His Bibliography of the History of Agriculture in the United States, issued in 1930, won the Oberly Award and helped to establish American agricultural history as a field of research.
This work provided the basis for the Bibliographic Index of American Agricultural History, which is maintained by the Department of Agriculture.
His other bibliographies include such major compilations as References on the Significance of the Frontier in American History (1935), References on American Colonial Agriculture (1938), and A Bibliography on the Agriculture of the American Indians (1942). Edwards also edited collections of documents and a series of monographs; two notable collections were Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Agriculture (1937) and Jefferson and Agriculture (1943). The Agricultural History Series, which he originated and edited, included seven monographs published from 1941 to 1944. Edwards' original writings were overshadowed by his editing and bibliographical activities. His major essay, "American Agriculture - The First 300 Years, " appeared in the United States Department of Agriculture Yearbook for 1940. A series of papers on the history of dairying provided models for research in that area. Other articles were published in yearbooks of the department, in encyclopedias, and in scholarly journals.
Over the years Edwards worked closely with Herbert A. Kellar of the McCormick Historical Collection and Rodney C. Loehr of the University of Minnesota in developing his concepts of agricultural history. He died in Washington, D. C.
He defined agricultural history broadly and in an article published in 1944 stated that in the United States it should include the physical setting; colonization and settlement of the agricultural regions; land policies; agricultural development; buildings and equipment; farm management; labor; tenancy; financing of the farm and the rural community; marketing of agricultural products; leadership; agencies promoting the improvement of agricultural and rural life; farmers and political movements; farmers as consumers; agricultural industries; farmers as social beings; and agriculture in the life of the nation. During his twenty-five-year career he contributed, in one way or another, to each of these subjects. Edwards edited and published 118 bibliographies.
