Credo HarrisCredo Fitch Harris was an American journalist, novelist, and radio station manager whose work reflected both the literary and technological transitions of the early 20th century. Born in 1874 and based in Kentucky, Harris contributed to regional liteature while also playing a role in the emerging field of broadcast media. He managed WHAS, a prominent Louisville radio station, during a period of rapid development in American radio. His writing frequently explored Kentucky life, particularly in novels such as Toby, which was later adapted into the silent film One Dollar Bid. Harris's literary range extended beyond fiction, as seen in his travel book Motor Rambles in Italy and his autobiographical Microphone Memoirs, which detailed the early days of radio. His novels often dealt with identity, place, and the intersections between rural experience and broader social changes. Though not widely known today, Harris's combined legacy in literature and media marks him as a contributor to both Southern storytelling and the foundational years of American broadcasting. He died in 1956. Read More Read Less
