Biography

Robert Nelson, author of "Old Money, New West" (TCU Press, Nov. 19, 2021), a book Bill Clinton called "a master class in old-fashioned journalism," has spent his extensive writing career bouncing between journalism and history. Nelson wrote more than 3,000 stories in his 25 years as a reporter and editor for newspapers and magazines in Nebraska, Arizona, Washington, D.C., and Texas. He has earned more than 100 state, regional and national awards. During his years in Arizona, he was twice runner-up for Arizona Journalist of the Year, twice winner of the John Kolbe Government and Politics Award and winner of the 2006 Thurgood Marshall Award for Print Journalism. He was also awarded the top national prize for alternative newsweekly columnists. In 2005, one of his long-form features was included in the HarperCollins anthology, Best American Crime Writing. In 2017, Nelson was named scholar-in-residence at the Arizona State Capitol Museum; a position in which Nelson assisted staff with various media and archiving projects while he researched the biography of former Arizona Gov. Fife Symington, a project Dr. August started just before his death. Former U.S. President Bill Clinton wrote the foreword for the book.
