Baynard Hardwick Kendrick (April 8, 1894 – March 22, 1977) was an American mystery novelist. Florida's Perpetual Forests is a manuscript commissioned by the Florida Board of Forestry in 1966. The manuscript was written by Kendrick.
He was one of the founders of the Mystery Writers of America, held its first membership card, and was its first president. He married Edythe Stevens in 1919 and Jean Morris in 1971, and became an executive and manager of hotels and publishing companies. Kendrick was born in Philadelphia and traveled to Canada as the first American citizen to enlist in the Canadian Army during World War I. He served in England, France, and Salonika. During his service, a fellow Philadelphian serving with the Canadians was blinded. Kendrick was the organizer and only sighted member of the Blinded Veterans Association.
He also wrote using the pseudonym Richard Hayward.
