About the author
Albert G. Robinson, also listed as Albert Gardner Robinson, was an American author born in 1855 and died in 1932. Bibliographic records connect him with several early-20th-century works, including The Philippines: The War and the People, Cuba and the Intervention, and Old New England Doorways.
His books suggest a writer comfortable moving between political history, travel observation, and cultural description. The Philippines: The War and the People was presented as a record of personal observations and experiences, while Cuba and the Intervention and Cuba, Old and New show his continuing interest in Cuba and U.S. relations in the Caribbean.
Later, Robinson turned to architectural history and visual documentation. Old New England Doorways was published with many illustrations drawn from his own collection of photographs, showing the same reporter's eye for detail applied to historic houses and regional design.
