Horseshoe Robinson"
The history of this hero of Kennedys
novel has been recently given in this De-
partment. Further research has shown
| that the soldiers true name was not
James Robinson" but James Robert
son." This is the name which appears
upon his tombstone and his descendants
| are known by the name of Robertson.
| He was called Familiarity Robinson be-
cause of the name of the novel, hence
the mistake.
We desire to be perfectly accurate, and
| we hope that all errors which are pub
lished in this Department will be cor
rected. State Historian.
