Reminiscences, 1981.

Collection consists of a volume of reminiscences, written in a chatty style, mostly in chronological order. He describes his mothers' (the Reeves) and father's (the Clines) families, listing siblings and placing them in historical perspective. Of particular interest are Cline's descriptions of his early educational training, several of his professors at Duke and his experiences as a teacher. He discusses at length his time in the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), 1934-1942, when he spent time in N.C., S.C., and Fla. He apparently took some classes at Clemson College (later Clemson University). The appendix includes a photocopy of a letter to Cline's grandmother, written after rumors of her husband's death in the Civil War. There are also photocopies of pictures of the Cline family and genealogies of the Cline, Sills, and Reeves families.
