Beskrivelse af The Spirit Of Old West Point, 1858-1862 (1907)
The Spirit of Old West Point, 1858-1862 is a historical memoir written by Morris Schaff in 1907. The book provides a detailed account of his experiences as a cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point during the four years leading up to the outbreak of the American Civil War. Schaff's narrative offers a unique perspective on life at West Point during a time of great political and social upheaval in the United States. He describes the rigorous academic and military training that he and his fellow cadets underwent, as well as the strict disciplinary code that governed their behavior. The author also provides insight into the political climate of the time, including the growing tensions between the North and South and the debates over slavery and states' rights. He describes the reactions of his fellow cadets to these issues, as well as the impact that they had on the overall atmosphere at West Point. Throughout the book, Schaff emphasizes the importance of the ""spirit"" of West Point, which he defines as a sense of duty, honor, and loyalty to the nation. He argues that this spirit was instrumental in shaping the character of the cadets and preparing them for the challenges that lay ahead. Overall, The Spirit of Old West Point, 1858-1862 provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of West Point during a pivotal moment in American history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in military history, the Civil War, or the development of American national identity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
