Biography: Robert M. Wade

Robert M. Wade was born December 28, 1950 on a rural farm in Mobile, Alabama when cotton was still "King." He dropped out of high school at age sixteen and received his GED from Gary Job Corps Center in San Marcos, Texas in 1968. In 1970, Wade was drafted into the United States Army during the Vietnam War Era, but never served in Vietnam. During a distinguished military career, Wade received numerous awards and decorations for dedication to duty and country. It was while on active duty that Wade was bitten by the poetry writing bug.

His poems were published in army newspapers on a recurring basis while he was stationed at Ft. Richardson, Alaska and at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas. In 1988 his poem, "Black Soldiers of Honor" graced the 5th U.S. Army Poster used during Black History Month at Ft. Sam Houston honoring the service of African American soldiers throughout America's history. He also received accolades from then General Colin Powell, the late Congressman Henry B. Gonzales, former First Lady, now Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and former First Lady Barbara Bush, to name a few, for poems sent to them.

After retiring from the military, Wade returned to college and earned his Associate of Arts Degree in Education from St. Philip's College, and his Bachelor of Arts Degree in History from the University of Texas at San Antonio in San Antonio, Texas. It was while learning to research and write about that research, Wade convinced himself that he could write a book, as well as poetry. Since that revelation he has written two books prior to this one: "Cheating: A Double-Edged Sword" & "Surviving King Cotton: Cotton Pickin Po."
