John H. (John Henry) Robinson

Born in 1863 and known as John H. Robinson, he became a well-known American poultry writer and editor at a time when poultry keeping was growing into a serious agricultural specialty. He is closely associated with Farm-Poultry and wrote books aimed at both beginners and experienced fanciers.

His publications include works such as First Lessons in Poultry Keeping and Standard Poultry for Exhibition. These books focused on practical flock management, exhibition standards, and the methods used by successful breeders and judges, making his writing especially useful for readers who wanted clear, working advice.

Robinson died in 1935. Although he is not as widely remembered today as some literary authors, his books remain valuable snapshots of how poultry was raised, judged, and discussed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
