Robinson is not identified (authorized, differentiated) by the Library of Congress, so there is no LCCN for him, although LC Online Catalog covers three of his works, LCCN below. At WorldCat none of his works are among the 20 most-widely-held works works by Charles Robinson undifferentiated.
The entire list of works below suggests that his short story and novel about "the First Fire" may feature the first fire in prehistoric Iowa.
