Warren Crocker Herrick

b. 1898

Best known for a single biographical work preserved by Project Gutenberg, this little-known American writer left behind a concise portrait of Cincinnati church leader Frank H. Nelson. The surviving record suggests a life that was far less public than the figure he wrote about.

About the author

Warren Crocker Herrick was an American author born on October 14, 1898, in Hobart, New York. Reliable catalog and archive records linked during this search identify him as the author of Frank H. Nelson of Cincinnati, a short biographical work that has been preserved by Project Gutenberg and the Internet Archive.

Very little verified literary or personal information about Herrick appears to be widely available online beyond basic genealogical records and the attribution of that book. Those records indicate he lived until 1972, but the publicly accessible sources found here do not provide a fuller account of his career, education, or other publications.

That scarcity makes his surviving work all the more interesting: even with a small footprint in the historical record, Herrick remains connected to readers through a book that has continued to circulate in digital libraries long after its original publication.
