Henry Collins Walsh was born in Florence, Italy, of American parents, and was brought to America at the age of nine. His father, Robert M. Walsh, was the son of Robert Walsh; his mother was Margaret Blount Mullen, who came of a prominent Southern family.
Walsh attended Georgetown College, Washington, D. C. , and in 1888 was awarded the degree of M. A.
In 1889 he published By the Potomac, and Other Verses, proceeds from the sale of which were dedicated to the Georgetown building fund. Meanwhile he had begun a journalistic career as a reporter for the Times of Philadelphia, going thence to Mansfield, Pa. , and subsequently to New York City. In 1894 he read an advertisement which stated that for $500 a person passengers could join an expedition being organized for Arctic exploration by Dr. Frederick A. Cook. Walsh secured a reduced rate by promising to serve as historian of the voyage, and in 1896 published The Last Cruise of the Miranda, an account of a venture which had led to "little discovery and many hardships. " Thereafter he traveled extensively through Central America, sojourned in Cop n in 1896, and the following year made a trip by caravan through Morocco and sections of the Atlas Mountains. His interest in travel revived in 1911, when he cruised through the West Indies. In 1925 he penetrated farther into Endless Cavern, Newmarket, Va. , than any man before him had gone. His experiences were described partly in magazine articles and partly in The White World (1902), written in collaboration with other members of the Arctic Club, of which he was one of the organizers, and edited by Rudolf Kersting. Walsh had a wide editorial and journalistic experience. In 1888 he and his brother, W. S. Walsh, started a literary magazine, American Notes and Queries, which they edited from May to October of that year. During the Spanish-American War, he was a correspondent in the field for the New York Herald and Harper's Weekly. After a period of service on the editorial staff of the Catholic World, he became successively co-editor (1902 - 06) of the Smart Set, editor of the Travel Magazine (1907 - 10), member of the staff of the American Press Association (1911 - 18), and associate editor of the National Marine (1919 - 21). After 1924 he served as vice-president of the Nomad Publishing Company. Walsh helped to organize the Explorers' Club of New York, and served as president of the Nomad Club and of the Adventurers' Club, also of New York. He was known as a fascinating raconteur. Though born a Catholic, he did not continue in that faith and was buried in Westminster Cemetery, Philadelphia, in which city he died, while absent from his home in New York on a visit to his sister.
