Charles M. Robinson III Day is scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday, May 19, at the Narciso Martinez Cultural Arts Center on 225 E. Stenger St. in San Benito.

Hosted at the center by the San Benito Historical Society, the event will pay tribute to Robinson, who served as the editor of the San Benito News and was considered a world-renown historian, penning over 20 books covering several topics.

His two best-known books are “The Men Who Wear the Star,” a history of the Texas Rangers, and “A Good Year to Die,” which chronicles the Sioux Indian war from its beginning in 1862 to the tragic surrender near the Canadian border in 1877.

Most of Robinson’s books will be on display and some will be for sale. Information on his books, which are now available on Kindle (Amazon), will be offered as well as assistance in finding more of Robinson’s work.
