Book Synopsis West Point Tic Tacs by : Homer Lee & Co
Download or read book West Point Tic Tacs written by Homer Lee & Co and published by . This book was released on 1878 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The favor with which 'Fag Ends' was received, excited the desire of preparing a book on West Point and Army Life which should surpass every other work of the kind. In order to perfect the plan of making for the Military Academy, a companion-book to 'Fag Ends from the Naval Academy' we have secured the cooperation of some of the ablest authors and artists in the country. It is for others to judge of the merit of the undertaking: what we know is, that neither care nor expense has been spared to achieve success. More than half the book consists of new matter. 'Cadet Grey,' by Bret Harte, is the longest and most elaborate contribution to American poetry of its distinguished author. The structure of the verse is in the Spenserian measure, and is in the narrative manner of Byron's 'Childe Harold' and 'Don Juan.' The poem which Mr. Harte has written for this book contains the first song--'Not Yet'--he ever composed. This, with the 'Bugle Calls' so happily introduced, have been set to music by Harrison Millard, one of our most popular composers. The illustrations, which are from original pen drawings, were all made expressly for this collection by Th. Nash, Weldon, Darley, Moran, Kelly, Hopkins, and others; and will be found alike in conception and execution, far above any others ever attempted in a book of this character"--Preface.

This book was released on 1994-03-01 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dramatic account of one of the most momentous trials in American history. Set in the 1880s, this riveting story focuses on Whittaker, a former slave who became the third black man to enter West Point. Like his two predecessors, he was ostracized for the entire three years of his training. One morning Whittaker didn't show up for drill. He was found in his room, unconscious, tied tightly to the bed, with blood streaming from his head. In a trial that received major attention from the press, Whittaker was accused of faking the crime to get sympathy from the public and from his professors. Author Marszalek weaves his rich narrative from historical records to tell how Whittaker sought justice against all odds.

Download or read book To the Point written by George Pappas and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1993-07-30 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume goes beyond military personalities to cover the first 100 years of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Pappas focuses on the institution itself--describing how the Academy was formed and who its early leaders were. He tells us of the central role of Jonathan Williams and Sylvanus Thayer in ensuring that West Point would become both a military academy and a quality engineering school--despite many problems in its early years. Emphasis is placed on descriptions of events found in letters and diaries of cadets, officers, and family members. Myths and legends about the Academy without any factual basis are thoroughly debunked. Pappas also recounts the development of the instructors, the curriculum, and the cadet; the importance of honor; the creation of a library; the role of discipline; daily exams and weekly academic reports; life in the barracks; Benny Haven's Tavern--these and many other vignettes of West Point are brought to life in an unparalleled writing style. Including numerous photographs and maps, this book will both fascinate and teach. A must for all military historians, buffs, West Point graduates, and veterans.

Download or read book Bret Harte written by Gary Scharnhorst and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bret Harte was the best-known and highest paid writer in America in the early 1870s, yet his vexed attempts to earn a living by his pen led to the failure of his marriage and, in 1878, his departure for Europe. Gary Scharnhorst’s biography of Harte traces the growing commercial appeal of western fiction and drama on both sides of the Atlantic during the Gilded Age, a development in which Harte played a crucial role. Harte’s pioneering use of California local color in such stories as "The Outcasts of Poker Flat" challenged genteel assumptions about western writing and helped open eastern papers to contributions by Mark Twain and others. The popularity of Bret Harte’s writings was driven largely by a literary market that his western stories helped create. The first Harte biography in nearly seventy years to be written entirely from primary sources, this book documents Harte’s personal relationships and, in addition, his negotiations with various publishers, agents, and theatrical producers as he exploited popular interest in the American West.

Book Synopsis Last in Their Class by : James Robbins
Download or read book Last in Their Class written by James Robbins and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s Goat, the celebrated West Point cadet finishing at the bottom of his class, carries on a long and storied tradition. George Custer’s contemporaries at the Academy believed that the same spirit of adventure that led him to “blow post” at night to carouse at local taverns also motivated his dramatic cavalry attacks in the Civil War and afterwards. And the same willingness to stoically accept punishment for his hijinks at the Academy also sent George Pickett marching into the teeth of the Union guns at Gettysburg. The story James S. Robbins tells goes from the beginnings of West Point through the carnage of the Civil War to the grassy bluffs over the Little Big Horn. The Goats he profiles tell us much about the soul of the American solider, his daring, imagination and desire to prove himself against high odds.

Book Synopsis The Real Custer by : James S. Robbins
Download or read book The Real Custer written by James S. Robbins and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-06-23 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Real Custer takes a good hard look at the life and storied military career of George Armstrong Custer—from cutting his teeth at Bull Run in the Civil War, to his famous and untimely death at Little Bighorn in the Indian Wars. Author James Robbins demonstrates that Custer, having graduated last in his class at West Point, went on to prove himself again and again as an extremely skilled cavalry leader. Robbins argues that Custer's undoing was his bold and cocky attitude, which caused the Army's bloodiest defeat in the Indian Wars. Robbins also dives into Custer’s personal life, exploring his letters and other personal documents to reveal who he was as a person, underneath the military leader. The Real Custer is an exciting and valuable contribution to the legend and history of Custer that will delight Custer fans as well as readers new to the legend.
