To start with let me state firmly that the editor of the present book is not my grandson. Blood is blood and I believe that the boy is getting confused about who his real grandmothers were or maybe just overexercising poetic privilege. If you want say that I was like a second mother to him, I’ll accept a degree of that designation. I taught all five of my boys to be polite, to stand up straight, to speak the English language grammatically, and to read good books--when we could find any. There was no circulating library in Grayson County in the 1850s when we raised our family there. I don’t know what all kinds of mischief my laddies got into, because I never wanted to, but I assumed there was plenty of it, because boys will be boys.
