Bless the Internet….I wanted to know more about Kenneth Roberts this morning, as I think someplace here we have a book** by him that told about how he researched his books. I didn’t know many things about him…he was a journalist, for instance…Read more about him here….Very interesting indeed!

en.wikipedia.org

For example, the heroes of Arundel and Rabble in Arms are from Kennebunk (then called Arundel), while Langdon Towne, the chief character of Roberts's Northwest Passage, is depicted as being from Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

**I Wanted to Write (1949) -- autobiography

This is also an interesting site with more info….

"I've had a theory for a great many years that a writer can write more effectively about his own people than he can about people that aren't in his blood....My people have always lived in Maine. All of twenty years ago I started mousing around for something to write that would have my own sort of people in it." --Kenneth Roberts, November 27, 1935
