Arch E. Giddings

Arch E. Giddings appears to be a scarce figure in the historical record. Based on the sources I could confirm, Giddings is known for co-authoring Codes with Romaine Lowdermilk, and that work is the only title currently listed for this author in Project Gutenberg's catalog.

Project Gutenberg describes Codes as an early 20th-century crime fiction story set among telegraph operators, with plot elements involving money-transfer codes, deception, and an undercover effort to stop fraud. That surviving work suggests an interest in the practical details and dramatic possibilities of modern communication at the time.

Because reliable biographical information about Giddings is very limited in the sources I found, details such as birth, death, and broader career history could not be confirmed here.
