Kenneth Roberts: Maine Writer, Historian
Kenneth Roberts was as interesting and complex as the historical novels he wrote. He was much like the irracible, fiercely independent, principled characters that he described in his novels. He was proud of his Maine heritage and the people of Maine became the central characters in his novels. Roberts also did not shy away from controversy, explaining and defending the treason of Benedict Arnold in his novels, writing stinging and controversial articles for the <u>Saturday Evening Post</u>,as well as promoting and documenting the practice of "water dowsing" (detecting underground water supplies by using a forked stick).

Sara Orne Jewett: Maine Author
<p>In previous months, we have explored Maine authors like Kenneth Roberts and Mary Ellen Chase. Well, one of Chase’s contemporaries, and a woman ahead of her time, was Sara Orne Jewett. Like many of the other inspirational women of her time, Jewett did not resign herself to the traditional female role of her era. Instead, she had aspirations to become a physician—to learn and explore—to achieve success through more than just marriage and motherhood.
