About the author
Arundel Cotter was an American author and journalist born in 1883 and died in 1952. Library and book records connect him most strongly with business and industrial writing, especially United States Steel: A Corporation with a Soul and The Story of Bethlehem Steel.
His work focused on the rise of major American steel companies at a time when heavy industry was helping shape the country’s economy and identity. Rather than writing fiction alone, he also wrote narrative nonfiction that brought large corporations and the people behind them into view for general readers.
Basic biographical records indicate that he died on October 27, 1952, at age 69. A reliable portrait image could not be confirmed from the sources available here, so no profile image is included.
