About the author: "Kenneth Lewis Roberts (December 8, 1885 - July 21, 1957) was an American author of historical novels. After serving as an Army lieutenant during the American Siberian campaign in the Russian Civil War in 1919, Roberts worked first as a journalist, and then as a popular novelist. Born in Kennebunk, Maine, Roberts specialized in Regionalist historical fiction. He often wrote about his native state and its terrain, also depicting other upper New England states and scenes. For example, Langdon Towne, the chief character of Roberts's Northwest Passage, is depicted as being from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. At a key point in the novel, Towne and his companions, fighting for their lives, trudge through what is now the Northeast Kingdom region of Vermont. Key novels of Roberts's work include: * Northwest Passage - French and Indian War * Arundel * The Lively Lady * Rabble in Arms - American Revolution; sequel to Arundel * Captain Caution * Oliver Wiswell - American Revolution from the loyalist perspective * Boon Island * Lydia Bailey Roberts described his life in detail in his autobiography, I Wanted to Write. In 1957 he received a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation "for his historical novels which have long contributed to the creation of greater interest in our early American history." Roberts graduated from Cornell University in 1908, where he wrote the lyrics for two Cornell fight songs. He was also a member of the Quill and Dagger society.
