A Shower of Stars
Pullen '35, John
|
In the course of research on the 20th Maine, Pullen found an obscure note indicating that in 1865, several hundred Medals of Honor were issued to the 27th Maine, a "volunteer" militia regiment. The 20th Maine had garnered only four such medals for its courage at Gettysburg. Had Pullen discovered an untold story of extradordinary bravery or a ludicrous blunder on the part of the War Department?

Thomas Jefferson: Westward the Course of Empire
Kaplan '47, Lawrence S.
|
This biography of one of America’s greatest political figures focuses on Thomas Jefferson’s role as a maker of foreign policy. Although he was not the sole formulator of American diplomacy, Jefferson’s voice was the most pervasive in the first generation of the republic’s history. This text explores how the concept of the United States’ westward expansion worked as the moving force in forming Jefferson’s judgments and actions in foreign relations. Although much has been written about Jefferson, this volume is one of the few that explores the full range of his positions on foreign relations.
