Charles Felton Pidgin (1844–1923) was an American author, statistician, and inventor. Active during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Pidgin pursued a diverse career that bridged the analytical world of statistics, the practical realm of invention, and the creative field of literature.\n\nHis most significant literary achievement came with the publication of his 1900 novel, Quincy Adams Sawyer. The book became a major commercial success, largely due to an extensive and highly effective marketing campaign that helped it reach a wide audience. The enduring popularity of the story allowed it to transcend the printed page, leading to successful adaptations for both the theatrical stage and the silent film era.
