author
Known today only through a single surviving title, this appears to be a corporate author rather than an individual writer. The name is attached to the historical work Tacoma and Vicinity, suggesting a promotional or descriptive publication created by a land and loan company.

by Loan and Trust Company Oakland Land
Project Gutenberg lists Loan and Trust Company Oakland Land as the author of just one work, Tacoma and Vicinity. Based on the name itself and the way the work is cataloged, this seems to be a business or institutional author, not a private person.
Because reliable biographical information is extremely limited, there is no confirmed personal history to tell here. The surviving attribution points instead to the kind of civic and promotional publishing often produced by land, loan, or development companies in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
In other words, this "author" is best understood as a historical imprint behind a regional publication rather than as a documented individual with a known life story.
