Kenneth Roberts (author)
Kenneth Lewis Roberts (December 8, 1885 – July 21, 1957) was an American author of historical novels. Roberts worked first as a journalist, becoming nationally known for his work with the ''Saturday Evening Post'' from 1919 to 1928, 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, the main characters of ''Arundel'' and ''Rabble in Arms'' are from Kennebunk (then called Arundel), the main character of ''Northwest Passage'' is depicted as being from Kittery, Maine with friends in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and the main character in ''Oliver Wiswell'' is from Milton, Massachusetts.

Roberts graduated in 1908 from Cornell University, where he wrote the lyrics for two Cornell fight songs, including ''Fight for Cornell''.〔William Emmett Studwell and Bruce R. Schueneman, ''College Fight Songs II: A Supplementary Anthology'', 8.〕 He was also a member of the Quill and Dagger society. He was later awarded honorary doctorates from three New England universities: Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, Colby College in Maine and Middlebury College in Vermont.〔Brennan, Elizabeth and Clarage, Elizabeth.
