Book Description
The ordeal of twenty-year-old schoolteacher Sarah Pauline White, sentenced in 1864 to confinement at hard labor in the state penitentiary for the duration of the Civil War for writing a letter to a rebel soldier, was one of several painful experiences endured by Wayne County families that are described in Old Wayne. Why her impassioned quest for a pardon failed was never fully explained; but it gained the enthusiastic support of Missouri governor Thomas C. Fletcher, formerly a Union army general, and appears to have been a casualty of President Andrew Johnson's acrimonious relationship with the Missouri commander General John Pope who, at a later time, was fired by Johnson.

Book Description
Admiral Meyer is known as the "Father of Aegis," the revolutionary combat system now standard in U.S. Navy surface warships for air and missile defense. Meyer grew up during the Depression on a farm near Brunswick, Missouri. He enlisted in 1943 when he was 17 years old and was commissioned through the Naval Reserve V-12 officer training program at the University of Kansas. His initial assignment as an ensign was to begin his postgraduate education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His first tours of sea duty were in the destroyer Goodrich (DD-831), 1947-48; the light cruiser Springfield (CL-66), in 1948-49; and the destroyer tender Sierra (AD-18), 1950-51. In 1951-52 he attended Guided Missile School at Fort Bliss, Texas, and from 1952 to 1954 taught at the Nuclear Weapons School in Norfolk, Virginia. After being a student at General Line School, Monterey, California, in 1954-55, Meyer served in 1955-56 as executive officer of the radar picket destroyer escort Strickland (DER-324) and 1956-58 on the staff of Commander Destroyer Force Atlantic Fleet (DesLant). He attended the Naval Postgraduate School, 1958-60, and did further postgraduate work at MIT, 1960-61. His final shipboard tour was in 1961-63 as fire control officer and weapons officer in the guided missile cruiser Galveston (CLG-3). From there he reported to the Surface Missile Systems Project in Washington, D.C., 1963-67, and served 1967-70 at the Navy Surface Missile Systems Engineering Station (NSMSES), Port Hueneme, California. RADM Meyer's longest tenure, 1970-83, was in the Advanced Surface Missile System, which became Aegis. From 1976 to 1983 he was project manager for the Aegis Shipbuilding Project in the Naval Sea Systems Command. His final tour of active duty, 1983-85, was as NavSea-06, Deputy Commander for Weapons and Combat Systems. Following retirement from active naval service, he continued to work in Aegis-related activities.

Book Description
Excerpt from Reminiscences of Old Fort Wayne Wayne was called to save the nation. The campaign in Ohio and Indiana, which was to give peace to the frontier and loosen the British grip upon the Northwest was the crowning work of Wayne's life. Strictly speaking, the war that called Wayne to the frontier was a prolongation of the War of the Revolution. Though the treaty of peace made with England had been rati fied, it had not been carried out, and while the British could no longer claim territory to the south of the Great Lakes, they encouraged the Indians to hold and fight for these broad lands. In 1792 Washington appointed General Wayne commander-in-chief of the American Army and he was ordered to Pittsburgh to organize troops for the purpose of subduing these Indian tribes. This company was called the Legion of the United States, and the men for the command were gath ered by sweeping the streets and prisons of the eastern cities of their beg gars, tramps, and criminals, and let it be remembered that this was the second sweeping, the first having gone to St. Clair.
