In Memoriam: Legendary WBTS historian James I. ‘Bud’ Robertson Jr.

Via Billy Bearden


James I. “Bud” Robertson Jr., founding director of the Virginia Center for Civil War Studies, stands in his home study with some of his published works.
“History is the greatest teacher you will ever have,” James I. “Bud” Robertson Jr. often told his students. If history is the greatest teacher, many of them might have argued, then he was the second greatest.

Robertson, Alumni Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History at Virginia Tech, died on Nov. 2 after a long illness. He was 89 years old.
