Rowland Evans Robinson
Birth: May 14, 1833, Ferrisburgh, Addison County, Vermont.
Death: October 15, 1900, Ferrisburgh, Addison County, Vermont.
Author. The son of famed abolitionist Rowland T. Robinson (1796-1879), he trained in New York City as an engraver and illustrator. In 1870 he returned to Rokeby, the Robinson family farm, which he ran with his brother George while contributing engravings and drawings to Harper's Illustrated, Leslie's magazine, and other publications. A naturalist and conservationist, he also contributed illustrations of Vermont flora and fauna to Scribner's, Forest and Stream and other magazines. In 1887 failing eyesight that eventually left him blind caused him to give up his art, and with his wife's assistance he became an author. Using a grooved board that aided him with lines and spaces, he penned several novels, as well as short stories and magazine articles. His fiction and non-fiction works, including "Uncle Lisha's Shop," "Sam Lovel's Boy," "Vermont: A Study of Independence," and "Danvis Folks" celebrated rural Vermont life and made him one of the nineteenth century's most popular authors. Rokeby is now a National Historic Landmark and museum that chronicles Rowland T. Robinson's involvement with the Underground Railroad and Rowland E. Robinson's art and literature.
