Image For 500 Strong

500 Strong
Item Description
Wabash College in Indiana sent more soldiers to the Civil War proportional to its size than any other college in America. This book, the result of twenty-five years of history students' research projects at modern-day Wabash, details the 500 students' lives in pioneer Indiana, in the war (over 100 battles) and after the war. Famous generals like Edward Canby and James J. Reynolds are covered, but also many average Hoosier boys who went, suffered in the war in the battles and from illness in camp and in Andersonville and Libby prisons but stayed to help save the nation. Edited by Patience Barnes and James Barnes H'91, professor of history emeritus.

Image For A Severe Mercy

A Severe Mercy
Item Description
Written by Sheldon Vanauken '38, this memoir is a biography of a union, the love between the author and his wife, how it formed, how it was sustained, how it perished, and how it remains. It is like a work by C. S. Lewis, which is interesting as he was a friend of the author and is quoted often in this book, but this book feels more like you're just talking to an old friend. This is a story of goodness and of a thoughtful life. It is truly worth reading.

Image For Daniel: The Age of Anxiety

Daniel: The Age of Anxiety
Item Description
By Peter Pactor '65, "Daniel: The Age of Anxiety is the sequel to Daniel: The Age of Discovery. All Daniel's friends and enemies have returned. Daniel continues to struggle to overcome the prejudices against him because of his age, his wealth, and his intelligence. It is hard to be different. Daniel's fear of and certainty about the coming stock market crash followed by a long depression finally drive him to act. All the experts say the economy is good, but Daniel believes they are wrong. He decides to hold public forums to discuss the coming collapse with the hope that he will be able to convince even a few people to get out of the market and to prepare for the crash and depression. Adults not only don't believe him, but they also mock him because of his youth and inexperience. In his quest to warn people that the crash is coming, he sets himself up as a target and acquires more enemies. People believe what they want to believe, and in 1929, people believed that the economy was good and that the bull market would go on forever. It is dangerous to kick other people's sacred cows...."

Image For Daniel: The Age of Discovery

Daniel: The Age of Discovery
Item Description
By Peter Pactor '65, "Daniel French is the twelve-year old son of one of the world's wealthiest men. Daniel may be rich in resources, but he is definitely poor in emotional ties with people and practically bankrupt in social skills. Ignored by his parents and mistreated by those employed to take care of him, Daniel has become manipulative and skilled in verbal self-defense. Never allowed to associate with people his own age, and never allowed to attend school, he found his friends within the books and fine art of the three-story library tower located on his family's estate. There he became entirely self-educated, and there he developed his passion for learning. When he is sent off to Cornwall Academy, a boarding school, he is so inept with people that he immediately becomes the outcast with everyone except his roommate. Small in body, great in knowledge and intellect, Daniel begins to learn quickly, and to adapt. His school community helps him to grow, but Daniel has lessons for both his fellow students and teachers. It is an important day in the life of a school when any new student enters that school. That student has the opportunity to be an influence for good or an influence for evil. Daniel has made his choices. Certainly, his four months spent at Cornwall Academy, are for Daniel The Age of Discovery...."

Item Description
Written by professor Brian Tucker '98, this book answers questions about the role of riddles in literature, especially German Romantic literature, and how this might have been interpreted over the years.
