About the Author:
Harriette Gillem Robinet, a Washington, D.C., native, graduated from the College of New Rochelle in New Rochelle, New York, and from graduate studies at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.
From reading journals from that time period, Robinet realized that 1860-1861 was a remarkable turning point in America's history. Her research for Twelve Travelers, Twenty Horses took more than a year to complete, as Robinet learned about the telegraph, the Pony Express, the route west, Abraham Lincoln, the prospect of California seceding from the Union, and most importantly -- the likelihood of freedom for slaves at that time.
Robinet then wove the events of that fall of 1860 and winter of 1861 into the lives of twelve characters she grew to love.
She and her husband, McLouis Robinet, live in Oak Park, Illinois, and have six children and four grandchildren.
