The Class of 1846 by John C Waugh

The Class of 1846 by John C Waugh

No single group of men at West Point -- or possibly any academy -- has been so indelibly written into history as the class of 1846. The names are legendary: Thomas Stonewall Jackson, George B. McClellan, Ambrose Powell Hill, Darius Nash Couch, George Edward Pickett, Cadmus Marcellus Wilcox, and George Stoneman. The class fought in three wars, produced twenty generals, and left the nation a lasting legacy of bravery, brilliance, and bloodshed.

This fascinating, remarkably intimate chronicle traces the lives of these unforgettable men -- their training, their personalities, and the events in which they made their names and met their fates. Drawing on letters, diaries, and personal accounts, John C. Waugh has written a collective biography of masterful proportions, as vivid and engrossing as fiction in its re-creation of these brilliant figures and their pivotal roles in American history.

At Hillsborough Community College in Tampa, Florida, Jack Waugh teaches World Humanities, Asian Humanities, and Honors World Humanities. He works as the Humanities Department's Program Manager. He developed a strong interest in English grammar after learning diagramming from a college professor who obliged her pupils to diagram thirty phrases per class period for the whole semester. Dr. Waugh has 20 years of experience teaching English and still enjoys teaching grammar and writing workshops. One of his greatest pleasures in teaching is seeing students grasp the fundamentals of English grammar.
