Eshleman was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on May 18, 1880 to parents Benjamin Franklin and Fannie (née Leverich) Eshleman.[1] He attended Tulane University, where he played college football from 1898 to 1900 as a fullback and halfback. He served as the team captain in 1898 and 1899.[2] Eshleman returned to coach Tulane for the 1903 season, and his team amassed a 2–2–1 record.[3] While at Tulane, he set the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association record in the 220-yard dash at 23.2 seconds.[4] He was a member of Alpha Tau Omega.[5]
In 1900, he studied literature at Tulane,[6] and in 1904, Eshleman received his medical doctorate from Tulane.[7] In the spring of 1904, he attended the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland to take graduate medical courses.[7] Eshleman was "known for his altruism as well as for his notable achievements in the highly specialized field of Internal Medicine."[1] He taught at the Tulane School of Medicine.[1] In 1918, he was an associate professor of clinical medicine and the acting medical officer at Tulane's Newcomb College.[8]
Eshleman sat on the Board of Tulane from 1936 to 1959, and was an emeritus member of the board from 1959 until 1976.[9] In 1979, Tulane inducted Eshleman into the Tulane Athletics Hall Of Fame.[10]
