Credo Fitch Harris

Born in 1874 and known as Credo Fitch Harris, he was an American journalist, novelist, and later a radio station manager based in Louisville, Kentucky. He wrote several books in the early 20th century, including Toby; A Novel of Kentucky (1912), Sunlight Patch (1915), Where the Souls of Men are Calling (1918), and Wings of the Wind (1920).

His career was not limited to fiction. Harris was also connected with WHAS in Louisville, linking him to the formative years of American radio. That experience later fed into Microphone Memoirs; of the Horse and Buggy Days of Radio (1937), an autobiography remembered for its glimpse into early broadcasting.

One of his novels, Toby, reached beyond the page: it was adapted into the 1918 film One Dollar Bid. Reliable sources confirm his literary and broadcasting work, but an easily verifiable portrait image was not available from the pages reviewed during this search, so no profile image is included here.
