Summary

"The Campus Guide: West Point U.S. Military Academy offers an insider's view of this world-famous military college. Set high atop the cliffs of New York's Hudson River, West Point is as much known for its architecture as for its legendary history. The Campus Guide tours West Point's buildings and monuments, and features famous works by Ralph Adams Cram, Richard Morris Hunt, McKim Mead & White, Paul Philippe Cret, and dozens of other illustrious architects." "The West Point U.S. Military Academy Campus Guide features sixty-five of the finest buildings on campus and a unique collection of memorials - statues of generals Washington, Grant, Pershing, Sherman, Lee, Patton, Bradley, MacArthur, and Eisenhower. It is fascinating to read and an easy-to-use companion for a walking tour. With photographs by Richard Creek and a foreword by Alexander M. Haig, Jr. - Class of 1947 and fifty-ninth U.S. Secretary of State - this is the definitive guide to the legendary home of the Long Gray Line."--Jacket
