He was a notable newspaper columnist, author, editor, publisher, and an authority on the Golden Age of American Railroads. Born the 9th child of Junius Beebe, the President of the Brockton Gas Company and a Boston banker, and Eleanor Harriet Beebe, he graduated from Harvard University in 1927, after being asked to leave for behavioral problems at Yale University. He joined the newspaper staff of "The Boston Telegraph," and later, from 1929 to 1950, "The New York Herald Tribune." For a decade, from 1950 to 1960, he was the owner, publisher, and editor of Mark Twain's old journal, "The Territorial Enterprise" of Virginia City, Nevada. He was a highly opinionated in his widely read newspaper with elegant overtones. An ornate gentleman of such sophistication and grandiloquent wordiness, he would not deign to use a familiar word if an enriched one could be found. In 1960 he began a column in "The San Francisco Chronicle," as opulent as it was unusual, that transported the delighted beholder into an ineffable world of extravagant wealth and bedazzlements evoking the memory of long-vanished but endearing wonders. A six-feet, four-inch-tall dandy of excellent proportions, he was a gentleman of custom attire, flailing a gold-headed cane with superb self-confidence. His own view was that "nothing mattered but the gallant gesture." Author of 35 books, Beebe's last book, "The Big Spenders", was published posthumously. His longtime personal companion, Charles M. Clegg, was a partner in many of his adventures and co-authored about half of his books. He succumbed to a heart attack. Donned in a top hat and tails, he appeared on the cover of "Life" magazine in the January 16, 1939 edition. His papers are held at the California State Railroad Museum Library and Archives.
