About

Robert Roberts (1780 in Charleston, South Carolina–1860) was the author of The House Servant's Directory: A Monitor for Private Families. Published in 1827, the book was the first commercially published book written by an African American in the United States. The book was sufficiently popular that two later editions were printed. In 1825 he became the butler for Christopher Gore, Governor and Senator from Massachusetts, and remained in the position until Gore's death in 1827. Previously he had been a butler or manservant for Nathan Appleton and it is likely that Roberts traveled abroad with Appleton from 1810 to 1812.
