Book Description
Excerpt from Biographical Catalogue of Lafayette College, 1832-1912 In the belief that the history of the College as such should be made a separate publication, nothing has been attempted in that matter. Lists of those who have been connected with the College as Trustees and members of the Faculty, with the dates of their service, have been included; also lists of those upon whom the College has conferred hono rary degrees and of those who have done graduate work in the College. But biographies have been given only of those who have been regularly enrolled as students of the College. These biographies have been presented in the briefest form possible on account of the limited space, and owing to lack of information some are very meager or wholly wanting. But great pains have been taken to secure the fullest and most accurate record possible without further delay. The compiler desires to make thankful acknowledgment of the great help he 'has received from the remarkably full and excellent record made by Prof. Coffin in his Men of Lafayette concerning those who had been connected with the College previous to 1891. But for his painstaking labors in that former period it is probable much that we now have would have been lost beyond recovery.

Hoosiers and the American Story
Author: Madison, James H.
Publisher: Indiana Historical Society
ISBN: 0871953633
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.

Wilson
Author: A. Scott Berg
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101636416
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 678
Book Description
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author, "a brilliant biography"* of the 28th president of the United States. *Doris Kearns Goodwin One hundred years after his inauguration, Woodrow Wilson still stands as one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century, and one of the most enigmatic. And now, after more than a decade of research and writing, Pulitzer Prize–winning author A. Scott Berg has completed Wilson—the most personal and penetrating biography ever written about the twenty-eighth President. In addition to the hundreds of thousands of documents in the Wilson Archives, Berg was the first biographer to gain access to two recently discovered caches of papers belonging to those close to Wilson. From this material, Berg was able to add countless details—even several unknown events—that fill in missing pieces of Wilson’s character, and cast new light on his entire life. From the visionary Princeton professor who constructed a model for higher education in America to the architect of the ill-fated League of Nations, from the devout Commander in Chief who ushered the country through its first great World War to the widower of intense passion and turbulence who wooed a second wife with hundreds of astonishing love letters, from the idealist determined to make the world “safe for democracy” to the stroke-crippled leader whose incapacity—and the subterfuges around it—were among the century’s greatest secrets, from the trailblazer whose ideas paved the way for the New Deal and the Progressive administrations that followed to the politician whose partisan battles with his opponents left him a broken man, and ultimately, a tragic figure—this is a book at once magisterial and deeply emotional about the whole of Wilson’s life, accomplishments, and failings. This is not just Wilson the icon—but Wilson the man. INCLUDES PHOTOGRAPHS
