Review.
"A SMALL BOYS RECOLLECT.
ION OF THE CIVIL WAR"
by George F. Robertson
Glover. South Carolina)

The title fully describes the book.
The author, George F. Robertson, now
in his seventy-ninth year. was but a
small lad living in Greeneville, Tenn
essee, at the outbreak Of the civil
war. His parents were w~ell-to-do
and respected members of their COM
munity. His father, apparently, edit
ed and published the only paper then
in Greeneville.
Writing entirely from memory, Mr..
Robertson describes in his book. just
off the press this past fall, his mem
cries of the war. His observations
are written from the viewpoint Of
the curious lad and written in a pleas
ing name for other lads.
The community in which the Rob-
ertson's lived, like a football, seemed
to be in the hands Of both the rebels
and the yankees on frequent occasion
but Mr.. Robertson is exceedingly fair
in his comments on the treatment re
eeived from both sides.
Here and there the Negro is
brought into the book. With but one
exception his appearance is not dis
creditable. And despite the natural
partisan views that one would expect
from a writer whose parents were
the possessor of slaves, again, Mr..
Robertson has been very generous in
his description Of the Negroes that
appear in his memoirs.
"A Small Boys Recollections of the
Civil War" is just that.
