Stone Barns of America: Historic Icons East of the Mississippi - Hardcover

by Robert Kroeger (Author)

Author Biography

Dr. Robert Kroeger, a native of Youngstown, practiced general dentistry from 1977 to 2010, when he retired. He and his wife Laura also live in Cincinnati, where they enjoy spending time with nine grandchildren. He is a second-generation artist, though, unlike his father Francis, who held an art degree from Notre Dame, his professional art career blossomed later in life. Though he did not immediately follow in his father's footsteps, Robert's career as a dentist allowed him to study color values and facial esthetic principles in smile design. Dr. Kroeger is the author of Historic Barns of Ohio, a book that features a barn, its painting, and its essay in each of Ohio's 88 counties. He has also written two books on dentistry and seven books on golf in Scotland, England, Wales, and Ireland, including To The 14th Tee, The Links of Wales, The Golf Courses of Old Tom Morris, Golf on the Links of Ireland, Golf on the Links of England, Complete Guide to the Golf Courses of Scotland, and The Secrets of Islay. This is his second book on old barns but hopefully not his last. He can be contacted via the website, www.barnart.weebly.com.
