Summary "Robert Toombs" by Pleasant A. Stovall is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life and career of Robert Toombs, a prominent figure in American politics during the 19th century, focusing on his roles as a statesman, lawyer, and soldier. It delves into Toombs' involvement in the legislature, Congress, and the Civil War, as well as his personal life and ideals, aiming to paint a comprehensive portrait of a complex man shaped by his times. The opening of the work introduces Robert Toombs as part of a distinguished lineage of soldiers and advocates for liberty, outlining his early life in Georgia. It describes his childhood and the influence of his family, particularly highlighting his mother's strong piety and his father's military background. Stovall sets the stage for Toombs' character development by detailing his childhood attributes such as mischievousness and vigor, his education at Franklin College, and his evolution into a determined and ambitious individual ready to make a mark on American politics. The narrative paints a picture of not only Toombs the statesman but also Toombs the man, hinting at the forthcoming challenges he would face in a nation divided by civil strife.
