Description	An article from the "Mountain Herald" about the installation of a monument at the grave of James Robertson, who was killed by the Indians in 1784, near the present town of Arthur, Tennessee.

Jones, Commander of the Legion Post, presented the monument to Lincoln Memorial University for preservation and "to the public for appreciation." Judge J. H. S.
