	James Robertson House
		When the Robertsons permanently moved to their Richland Creek lands in October, 1784, they resided in the log cabin while their new home--the first brick house in Middle Tennessee--was under construction (at present-day 5904 Robertson Road) inside Robertson's station.
		After the Robertsons moved into their brick home in 1787, Scottish schoolmaster and plantation overseer David Hood lived in the expanded log structure. Both residences were known as Travellers' Rest, although the brick mansion was renamed Richland in 1816 (it burned in 1902).
		James Robertson led 10 families from North Carolina over the mountains and into Watauga River valley of present East Tennessee to begin the first settlement of what would become Tennessee in 1796.

	Early History of Robertson County Tennessee - The Bell Witch Web Site
		“The first settlement in Robertson County {The facts in regard to Kilgore's settlement were condensed from the articles written by Dr. J.S. Mulloy, for the Springfield Record} was made by Thomas Kilgore on the waters of the Middle Fork of Red River, three-fourths of a mile west of Cross Plains.
		Despite the signing of a peace treaty as early as 1777, the brunt of attacks on Robertson County's early settlers did not come until the early 1780’s, when several renegade groups of Cherokees and Creeks formed what became known as the "Chickamauga Nation," whose purpose was to reclaim their land.
		The new state was divided into counties, with Robertson County being named for James Robertson, the founding father of nearby Nashville.

	Soldiers Blue and Gray
		Robertson points out—through the words of his subjects and his own analysis—that the early war fever was an emotional and political response to the exuberance of the times.
		Robertson believes that these vices, particularly the use of alcohol, served as a vehicle of escape from the horrors of war and the loneliness of being away from home.
		As Robertson states, “In truth, conditions of Southern soldiers incarcerated in a land of plenty were as inhuman as those for Union soldiers imprisoned in a land being systematically destroyed.”[8] Food and water was impure, clothing unavailable, and cleanliness unattainable.

	James Robertson Life & Times
		There obviously was dissention between Mary Gower Robertson Blakely and her second husband, for in mid-July, 1766, she appeared in the Johnston County court to exhibit an inventory of her deceased husband's estate and secure permission to sell the personal estate, in compliance with the terms of the will.
		The court granted her request, and within days James Robertson, at age 24, was appointed guardian by choice of his siblings Elijah and Eliza.
		Thus three of the Robertson minors were no longer subject to their mother and stepfather, but the youngest son Mark, older brother Sterling, and nine-year-old Anne were still residing in the Robertson-Blakely home.

	Stonewall Jackson
		Robertson chose to return to primary research—information from people who knew Jackson—to help us understand the personality and character of the man. He avoided the wide use of secondary references, which often provide undocumented source material for much of this mythology.
		The first major engagement of the valley campaign was Jackson’s attack on James Shields army at Kernstown in the lower Shenandoah Valley.

	Amazon.com: Robert E. Lee: Virginian Soldier, American Citizen: Books: Jr., James I. Robertson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Robertson conveys Lee's war tactics, tracing both his triumphs and failures, and his admirable character and dedication to the cause.
		Robertson's introduction begins by touching on Lee's greatest military triumph at the Battle of Chancellorsville, where he defeated a Union army twice his size by dividing his smaller force in two, but most of the focus is on the Lee legend that exists today.
		Robertson also wrote a similar biography, "Standing Like a Stone Wall: The Life of General Thomas J. Jackson," which would certainly provide a nice complement to this volume (Robertson also has written an adult biography of Jackson, "Stonewall Jackson: The Man, the Solider, the Legend").
