THE WEST POINT CLASS OF 1829

A BETTER PEACE welcomes Paul Springer to the studio to discuss the influence of the West Point class of 1829. Springer joins our Editor-In-Chief Jacqueline Whitt to examine the unique experiences of this cohort, and how it influenced, not only their development as leaders, but several generations of officers to follow through the U. S. Civil War. Many of these men impact the country not only through their military service, but also as captains of industry and through civil service as well.
