  Edson was a 1938 graduate of Barnstable High School and received one of only four New England scholarships at that time to Boston University. He graduated with a degree in journalism in 1942. During World War II, he was inducted into the Army and served as an enlisted man and as a WOJG in the headquarters of the Seventh Air Force at Saipan and later in Okinawa. After the war, Edson took graduate classes in American history and literature at Colgate University. He then taught for a year at Upsala College in New Jersey, after which he earned a master's degree in history from Northwestern University in 1950. For four decades, he taught American history at a number of private schools in New York. He served as chairman of the history department at the McBurney School in New York City from 1953 to 1981. He coached varsity baseball and basketball and was especially active in the Association of Teachers in Independent Schools in New York City and vicinity.
