Ralph Delahaye Paine was born on August 28, 1871 in Lemont, Illinois, United States. From his father, the Reverend Samuel Delahaye Paine, who fought in the trenches at Inkerman and who commanded a battery of light artillery in the Civil War, he inherited a passion for daring deeds on both land and sea. From his mother, Elizabeth Brown (Philbrook) Paine, came his admiration for New England's history as exemplified in the annals of the seaport towns.
Paine attended Hillhouse High School in New Haven, Connecticut. While still a boy in Jacksonville, Florida, where his father held a small parish, Ralph Delahaye he saved enough from his salary as a twelve-dollar-a-week reporter and entered Yale College in the fall of 1890. He began to cover the athletic news for a syndicate of over twenty newspapers and thereby pay for the whole of his own education and a part of his sister's schooling. His powerful physique won him a seat in the university crew and a place on the football squad, and his charm of personality brought to him the highest social honors Yale could offer. He graduated in 1894.
About 1894, Ralph joined the staff of the Philadelphia Press, and two years later he was sent to England to cover the Yale-Oxford crew race, serving again in 1904 in a similar capacity for Collier's Weekly at the track meet between the Yale-Harvard and Oxford-Cambridge teams. But it was as war correspondent during the Cuban revolution and the Spanish-American War that Paine enjoyed to the full his love of semi-quixotic adventure, for during that period he combined news-gathering with filibustering under the doughty captain "Dynamite Johnny O'Brien. " William Randolph Hearst selected Paine as the proper "fool-adventurer" to take a gold sword to Gomez, the Cuban leader, but after Paine had carried the "bauble" over 5, 000 miles he had to send it to the patriot, only to learn that the swarthy hero had accepted it with scorn a fact which Paine found highly amusing. In 1900 Paine was sent to China to cover the Boxer Uprising.
In 1902 the New York Herald placed him in charge of its campaign against the beef trust, a campaign which brought him notice because of its notable success. After a brief connection with the New York Telegraph as managing editor, Paine gave up journalism and began his career as fiction writer and historian. His researches as a historian led him to Salem, Massachussets, where he delved into the history of Yankee shipping. Ralph Delahaye Paine contributed to numerous publications in The Ships and Sailors of Old Salem (1909), The Old Merchant Marine (1919), and The Fight for a Free Sea (1920). As the atmosphere of his alma mater is felt in such fine boys' stories as The Stroke Oar (1908), College Years (1909), and others.
In 1917 Paine was appointed special observer with the Allied fleets, an experience which was unique and thrilling in the extreme. Into his stories went the influence of his friendships with such war correspondents as Stephen Crane, Ernest McCready, and Richard Harding Davis, and his careful study of Joseph Conrad's writings, the result being a literary style marked by genial humor, graphic phrasing, and vivid picturization.
In 1908 he moved to Durham, New Hampshire. Paine represented Durham in the state legislature (1919) and served on the state board of education from 1919 to 1921. He was presented a medal by the citizens of Dunkirk, France, in gratitude for his kindness to the citizens of that city during the war. He died on April 29, 1925 in Concord, New Hampshire, and was laid to rest near his literary workshop at "Shankhassick", his Durham residence.
