Heinrich Karl Ernst Martin Meyer (May 17, 1904 in Nuremberg, Germany - 10 October, 1977 in Bellingham, Washington, USA) was a professor of German and author. He first moved to the United States to work at Rice University in 1930 and officially naturalized on November 6, 1935. In 1942 a petition was submitted to revoke his citizenship due to his national German sympathies, and the case was fought in courts until ultimately he was allowed to retain his American citizenship in 1944. In the next thirty-plus years Meyer wrote extensively about German literature and about American Culture, but also published on gardening under a pseudonym Robert O. Barlow. His papers are held in the Jean and Alexander Heard Library Special Collections at Vanderbilt University.
