C. L. (Charles Landon) Goodrich

Library and public-domain catalog records identify this author as C. L. Goodrich (Charles Landon Goodrich), born 1859. He seems to be one of those writers who are now known less through broad modern biographies than through the older books that have been preserved in digital collections.

Because confirmed information is limited, it is safest to describe him through the records that are available: his name appears in major library listings under both the initials C. L. Goodrich and the fuller form Charles Landon Goodrich. That kind of catalog trail is often how many 19th-century authors remain visible to readers today.

At the moment, I could not confirm a fuller life story, career summary, or a dependable portrait from the sources I checked. If more archival or genealogical material turns up, his published work may tell us more about the world he wrote in than the surviving biographical record does.
