Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Family of Millers and Stewarts
Robert, the historian and youngest of the family, was probably indulged and petted greatly as a child. He was precocious and so interested in his classroom work at six that he would arise from his bed at night, gather his books and, though sound asleep, would walk across the yard to his schoolroom, and often be found by his parents sitting open-eyed, but asleep, at his desk. He was fondled much by his dear old mother and never happier than when nestling in her lap. This love between mother and son lasted throughout her life, so that for more than 30 years his arrival at home from college or practice ended with him in his mother's lap, either actually or with the ruse of his sitting on the broad arm of his mother's chair with his head upon her breast.
