Robert H. (Robert Higginson) Fuller

Robert Higginson Fuller was an American journalist and author born in Deerfield, Massachusetts, in 1865. Contemporary and library-style sources identify him as a newspaperman as well as a writer, and a biographical record says he graduated from Harvard in 1888 before beginning newspaper work on the Worcester Spy.

He went on to work in Albany journalism, including the Albany Sunday Express and the Albany Evening Journal, and later served as a political reporter and legislative correspondent for the New York Herald. That same record says he also held public roles in New York state government, including serving as secretary to Governor Charles Evans Hughes.

As an author, Fuller is chiefly associated with The Golden Hope: A Story of the Time of King Alexander the Great, a historical novel first published in 1905. Catalog and book-listing sources also connect him with Government by the People, showing the range of his interests from vivid fiction to the practical workings of American politics.
