Fiddle and Bow by Robert Love Taylor in Stationery Business Directory

 

Fiddle and Bow, published in 1984 by Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, is a novel-in-stories, each story focusing on a member of the Tennessee Taylor family. Beginning with General Nathaniel Taylor, whose Tennessee company almost made it to the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812, and concluding with the authors father traveling back to Tennessee in 1932, this unusual novel also features a section on the Tennessee War of the Roses, the 1886 gubernatorial election in which the brothers Robert Love Taylor and Alfred Alexander Taylor ran against each other, Bob the Democrat, Alf the Republican. The authors grandfather, Baxter Taylor, and his great-grandfather, James Patton Taylor, also figure prominently in the book. A portfolio of family photographs is included.
