"Jefferson Davis, Edgar Allan Poe, William Tecumseh Sherman, James McNeil Whistler, George Armstrong Custer, Dwight Eisenhower - these are only a few of the array of famous names who have 'boned math' and done close order drill at the United States Military Academy at West Point. All of them come to vivid life in this fascinating, informative and eminently readable story of a school whose graduates have played a central role in American history since its founding in 1802."--Book Jacket.
