Robertson talks about 'Spy House'
No full textIn this undated biographical article, Reuben B. Robertson talks with columnist Ted Carter about many things including travelling to Canton, North Carolina from Ohio in 1905, building Champion Fibre Company, and his current house.Ted
Carter
"I live up on the hill
above Asheville now," he
said. "It's a thousand feet
higher than this and several
degrees cooler. My home was
called 'The Spy House' during
World War II. A Cuban lady
had it built; a mysterious
German actually managed the
construction and surrounded
the property with a high
spiked-iron fence.
"There's a gate at the upper
end where they had a
telephone to the house. Anyone
who wanted in had to call up
first. A story abounds that
Asheville's Mayor Holmes
Bryson stopped by to pay his
respects and called on the
phone. The German listened
as Bryson explained h i s
mission. 'Is that all you
wanted?,' he asked. Then he
abruptly hung up. The mayor
never got in. Later the FBI
came and took the German
away. The woman apparently
had no hostile connections."
The speaker was Reuben B.
Robertson. The house he was
talking about was
"Hopewood" up on Sunset
Mountain. He's been living
there about eight years now.

DENNIS ROBERTSON ON UTILITY AND WELFARE IN THE 1950s
No full textThe paper investigates Dennis Robertson's effort to defend the Cambridge utilitarian tradition against the so-called "new welfare economics" in the 1950s. Robertson's sustained and isolated endeavor to rescue Marshallian cardinal utility attracted the attention of economists at the time. According to Robertson, welfare economics should be based on cardinal utility, and the ordinalist revolution in the consumer and welfare theories should be rejected. It was only by sticking to the study of the economic or material aspects of welfare under the assumption of measurable utility that the economist would regain its ability to approach economic welfare as an objective of economic policy.
Confederate Brig. Gen. B.H. Robertson and the 1863 Gettysburg campaign
No full textBeverly Holcombe Robertson was a military commander around whose Civil War career controversy always seemed to swirl. Robertson was born June 5, 1827, to Dr. William H. and Martha (Holcombe) Robertson at the family plantation, "The Oaks," in Amelia County, Virginia. With the exception of the fact that he was educated locally, nothing is known of young Robertson's life during the period between his birth and his appointment as a cadet to the United States Military Academy at West Point. Based upon his later performance at lithe Point," it can be assumed that this education was solid.Master of Art
