About the author

Levi Carroll Judson, who published as L. Carroll Judson, was an American lawyer and author active in the 1800s. The title page of his 1839 book A Biography of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, and of Washington and Patrick Henry identifies him as "a member of the Philadelphia bar," showing both his legal background and his interest in American history.

His best-known books include A Biography of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, The Sages and Heroes of the American Revolution, and The Masonic Advocate. Together, they show a writer drawn to biography, national history, and civic debate, especially the people and ideas that shaped the early United States.

Some biographical details about Judson are harder to confirm directly from major reference sources than the books themselves. Reliable catalog and library records clearly connect him with these works, and a later biographical note about his son, the writer Ned Buntline, also describes him as a lawyer, teacher, and author.
