Dust jacket has some scattered light scratches, rubbing and scuffing, dust jacket and book have some bumped corners, light tanning and shelf wear. Foreword by Ray M. Bowen. Number Eighty-Nine The Centennial Series of the Association of Former Students, Texas A&M University. 10.5"x7.5", 396 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. The historical bedrock of Texas' first institution of public higher learning, Texas A&M's Corps of Cadets has shaped the traditions that mark the rich heritage of one of the nation's largest universities. Keepers of the Spirit: The Corps of Cadets at Texas A&m University, 1876-2001 traces the history of the Corps from its founding at the land-grant Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas on the banks of the Brazos River to its entry into the twenty-first century. From shaky early years that saw rugged conditions, constant administrative turnover, and financial difficulties, Texas A&M and its Corps grew into what they are today. In the twentieth century the Corps gained national recognition as its graduates performed courageously in World Wars I and II, Korea, and Vietnam. And the Corps remains one of the largest uniformed organizations of military cadets in the nation, next only to the federal service academies. Offering commissions in all branches of the armed services, Texas A&M since 1876 has produced more than 43,000 commissioned officers, of whom more than 225 have reached the rank of general or flag officer. Skillfully integrating contemporary political, social, and cultural elements, John A. Adams, Jr., has analyzed hundreds of primary source documents to shed historical light on the values, customs, and controversies that have shaped the Corps's 125-year history: the Southern military tradition of duty, honor, and sacrifice; the struggle to integrate veterans returning from both world wars into campus - and Corps - life; the admission of women into the university and into the Corps; and the evolution of the Corps into a voluntary, rather than mandatory, part of an expanding and diversifying university. Keepers of the Spirit contains dozens of photographs never before published, as well as comprehensive lists of key people and events in Corps history. Adams's work dramatically and entertainingly details Texas A&M's and the Corps's contribution to America's long tradition of well-educated and well-prepared citizen soldiers.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. First edition - a paperback original. Signed by author without inscription on front flyleaf. 2002 Trade Paperback. 721, [1] pp. Bootmaker to the Nation, a galloping historical novel, dramatizes the Revolutionary War so vibrantly that people who "hate history" will find themselves totally immersed in the saga of America's creation. Fifty years after the Declaration of Independence, two white-haired patriots take turns telling their epic story, Benjamin from the battlefields, and his wife Genevieve from Washington's headquarters. The first third of this sweeping novel takes the reader on a turbulent ride through the three rebellious years leading up to the Declaration of Independence. Benjamin York, an apprientice shoemaker in London, is impressed into the British Navy in 1774 and forced to sail to Boston. On the frigate, he becomes a "topman", working high in the rigging. Genevieve Byrnes, a farm girl from Massachusetts, grows up hearing about the turmoil in nearby Boston. She becomes, like her father, an expert rider, galloping along the back roads of her explosive colony. In Boston, Benjamin is forced to become a redcoat. He marches to Lexington and Concord, fighting the opening skirmishes on the British side. Captured by the Americans, he meets Genevieve and her brother Henry, a Minuteman. Out of rage for what the British have done to him, Benjamin joins the American army. Follow Benjamin and Genevieve as their lives intertwine during the tumultuous opening of the eight-year war. In the second portion of this epic novel, soldiers carry muskets in their hands, and battered copies of the newly written Declaration of Independence in their backpacks. Despite their rags, despite their hunger, they never quit. What was it that kept the troops so loyal to their Commander in Chief? How were they able, after a winter of near starvation, to march out of Valley Forge as a professional army? Follow the men who are soldiers, and something more. They are already becoming citizens of a new nation, a nation based on their democratic dreams. In the final third of this great saga, the Continental Army, which has held together for eight long years, finally marches toward the battle that could finish this endless war. With help from the French, General Washington wraps his troops around the British trapped in the port of Yorktown, Virginia. He is poised for the kill. Benjamin and Genevieve experience the full horror of war. for victory will not come without the taking of Redoubt Ten. Signed by author.
