Which city is both the birthplace of Kenneth Lewis Roberts and the home to the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge?
Kenneth Roberts (author) Kenneth Lewis Roberts (December 8, 1885 – July 21, 1957) was an American author of historical novels. Roberts worked first as a journalist, becoming nationally known for his work with the "Saturday Evening Post" from 1919 to 1928, and then as a popular novelist. Born in Kennebunk, Maine, Roberts specialized in Regionalist historical fiction. He often wrote about his native state and its terrain, also depicting other upper New England states and scenes. For example, the main characters of "Arundel" and "Rabble in Arms" are from Kennebunkport (then called Arundel), the main character of "Northwest Passage" is depicted as being from Kittery, Maine with friends in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and the main character in "Oliver Wiswell" is from Milton, Massachusetts.
Kofa National Wildlife Refuge The Kofa National Wildlife Refuge is located in Arizona in the southwestern United States, northeast of Yuma and southeast of Quartzsite. The refuge, established in 1939 to protect desert bighorn sheep, encompasses over 665400 acre of the Yuma Desert region of the Sonoran Desert. Broad, gently sloping foothills as well as the sharp, needlepoint peaks of the Kofa Mountains are found in the rugged refuge. The small, widely scattered waterholes attract a surprising number of water birds for a desert area. A wide variety of plant life is also found throughout the refuge.
