The New Made Grave
Weir lambert, a young man fresh from college, had acquired the proprietorship of the Kent County Witness, a small country newspaper that had almost ceased to circulate. Weir was proprietor, editor, compositor and printer, and yet had plenty of time to worry. Nothing ever happened in Kentville; that, to an ambitious newspaper man, was a tragedy. And when at last something did happen, that, too, was a tragedy—a murder mystery that would have got front-page position in any city newspaper. But Weir didn’t print it because back of his mind was a picture of a beautiful girl and a new made grave, and Weir had promised to help. Hulbert Footner makes a grand job of a dramatic situation and keeps his plot boiling with excitement to the end.
Sons of Slum and Gravy
"All the members of the Long Grey Line that stretches through the years from 1802 have the cadet gray uniform in common, but individual classes develop different personalities shaped by experiences and times through which they pass. Each Academy class is different from every other ... Much of what follows is derived from interviews with the men of '62. Their contributions are typical of those made by other West Point classes. Throughout, I'll use my own observations to provide perspectives on the times through which we passed"--Introduction
The War I Survived Was Vietnam
This singular collection of articles, essays, poems, criticism and personal recollections by a Vietnam veteran documents the author's reflections on the war, from his combat experiences to his exploration of American veteran identity to his struggles with PTSD. His career as an advocate for the welfare of GIs and veterans exposed to dangerous radiation and herbicides is covered. Several pieces deal with how the Vietnam experience is being archived by scholars for historical interpretation. These collected works serve as a study of how wars are remembered and written about by surviving veterans.
