Description and Reviews
The boy is Robey Childs, sent by his mother to bring his father home from the War. She has “the sight,” and when she “sees” that General Thomas Jackson is dead, she tells Robey “Thomas Jackson has been killed… The blacksmith offers Robey a horse on loan until his task is completed. Indeed, the horse is more fit to do his job than is Robey. Olmstead creates an iconic horse, but never anthrpomorphizes or romanticizes the relationship between boy and horse. summarized from Amazon.comSubject

Welcome
This is the April 2008 upgrade of Cook Memorial Library’s new website, in development by Scriblio. It’s a brand new model for libraries, constructed to be interactive throughout, and to give website users the same opportunity for give-and-take that’s one of the joys of visiting our physical library on Tamworth’s Main Street.
If this is your first visit to the new site, please go to the HELP link. It will show you how to navigate the website. Please feel free to comment. Our automation system, InfoCentre, can be accessed directly for reserves and renews, and creating reading lists. -
