Frank C Robertson
(1890 - 1969)Frank Chester Robertson was an American author of a huge number of cowboy novels. The line between horse novel and pure Western is sometimes hard to draw, but one of his stories - Sagebrush Sorrel - is by anyone's standards, a children's pony book. He may have written more stories which were primarily horse centred but I do not know enough about his other novels to know for sure. If you have read any of his books which you consider should be classed as horse stories rather than westerns please let me know!
Frank was born in Idaho in 1890. As a child he helped out his family by herding sheep, and as an adult he had his own farms in both Idaho and Utah.
He has won awards for his books and was elected president of the Western Writers of America in 1959. He has written over 150 books, which include non-fiction and a popular biography as well as his trademark westerns.
