b. 1880
A practical early-20th-century veterinary writer, he produced plainspoken guides meant to help readers understand and treat the illnesses of farm animals and poultry. His books reflect a hands-on approach to animal care at a time when accessible veterinary information was especially valuable.

Born in 1880, Charles James Korinek is best remembered for veterinary manuals rather than fiction. Surviving library and public-domain records credit him with works including The Veterinarian, Notes on Veterinary Anatomy, and Notes on Diseases of Swine, Sheep, Poultry and the Dog.
His books were written as usable references, focusing on the causes, symptoms, and treatment of diseases affecting domestic animals. That practical style helped make his work useful to students, animal owners, and working veterinarians in the early 1900s.
Available records also indicate that he lived from 1880 to 1953. While not much biographical detail is easy to confirm, his published work shows a clear commitment to making veterinary knowledge more understandable and widely available.
