About the author
Born in Washington, D.C., William Edmund Aughinbaugh was an American physician, lawyer, and author whose career ranged far beyond any single profession. Library and archival records describe him as a widely traveled expert on foreign trade, and he later served as foreign and export editor of the New York Commercial.
His writing reflects that unusually broad background. In addition to books on international business and Latin American trade, he also wrote I Swear by Apollo: A Life of Medical Adventure, drawing on his experience in medicine and travel. That mix of practical knowledge and curiosity gave his work a direct, reportorial feel.
Aughinbaugh died in New York in 1940. Today he is remembered as a versatile early-20th-century author whose books connected travel, commerce, and professional life in a vivid and accessible way.
