Kenneth Roberts

I'm more into discovering authors from some years back than new ones. Kenneth Roberts wrote from the late 1920's into the 1950's - stories about early America: settings from the Colonial period into the early years of our country. His stories center around his native area in Maine.

I recently noticed a few of his books together at the Library - and finally checked one out. His most famous is Northwest Passage (made into a movie in the 1950's - and the one I noticed - set at the time of the French and Indian Wars - 1750's), but instead of that, I checked out Rabble in Arms (set in 1776).

Almost halfway through and enjoying it. Will probably check out another one or two after I finish this.

Has anyone here read anything by him?
