APPENDIX E--TO CHAPTER VII.
Recently one or two histories of the times and careers of Robertson and Sevier have been published by "Edmund Kirke," Mr.James R.
Gilmore.

They are charmingly written, and are of real service as calling attention to a neglected portion of our history and making it interesting.

But they entirely fail to discriminate between the provinces of history and fiction.

It is greatly to be regretted that Mr.Gilmore did not employ his powers in writing an avowed historical novel treating of the events he discusses; such a work from him would have a permanent value, like Robert L.Kennedy's "Horseshoe Robinson." In their present form his works cannot be accepted even as offering material on which to form a judgment, except in so far as they contain repetitions of statements given by Ramsey or Putnam.
