About the Author:

|
Jerry Roberson was raised on a farm on the Cumberland Plateau in Middle Tennessee; and he really does know first hand what real hard farm life is all about. He tells his stories in illustrations as well as with words. He writes, as his characters speak, not in strictly correct classroom English. He was a military officer by profession; but he has always been a romantic at heart, all of his life. He writes what he feels; not what he thinks others expect him to say.
Lieutenant Colonel Gerald A. Roberson, US Army Retired, spent the first five years of his twenty-five year active duty military career as an enlisted man and, as such, spent two full-year “in-country” tours of duty in the Vietnam War. So, he knows a little about how a Civil War soldier might feel about things.
