Richard Harding Davis became much the more lastingly famous author when he followed in the footsteps of his mother, Rebecca Harding Davis. Rebecca's "Life in the Iron Mills" is a landmark of realism and social protest. Handsome Richard was the model for Charles Dana Gibson's dashing "Gibson man" in book and calendar illustrations, then a world-hopping war correspondent, and his second wife was Vaudeville beauty whose signature number "Yama Yama Man" is still frequently performed with jazz banjo.
