== Early years and education ==
Born Edwin Alfred Teale in Joliet, Illinois, to Oliver Cromwell and Clara Louise (Way) Teale, his interest in the natural world was fostered by childhood summers spent at his grandparents' "Lone Oak" farm in Indiana's dune country—experiences recalled in his book ''Dune Boy'' (1943).〔Joan Gibb Engel,("Dune Boy: Edwin Way Teale, best-selling author of nature books, had roots in the sandy soil of northwest Indiana" ), ''Chicago Wilderness Magazine'', Summer 2001, accessed 3/2/2008.〕 At the age of nine, Teale declared himself a naturalist and at 12 changed his name to Edwin Way Teale.〔Edward H. Dodd Jr., ''Of Nature, Time and Teale: a biographical sketch of Edwin Way Teale'', 1960, Dodd, Mead, & Company, New York〕
He received a B.A. from Earlham College in English literature in 1922, then took a job at Friends University in Wichita, Kansas. Teale taught at Friends from 1922–1924 and served as men's and women's debate coach, yearbook adviser and chairman of the campus Peace Contest.〔Friends University, “The 1924 Talisman Yearbook”, Wichita, Kansas, 1924〕 In 1923 he married Nellie Imogene Donovan, also on the Friends faculty, whom he had met while at Earlham College.〔
In 1924, Edwin and Nellie moved to New York so Edwin could pursue his education at Columbia University. Teale chose Columbia in part
''...because it was in New York and it wouldn't take two months to get a manuscript back from a magazine.''〔
In 1926 he received his Master of Arts degree from Columbia University.
