B9781682691885Hardback. New. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz looms large in the story of the U.S. Navy in World War II. He passed away in 1966 — sadly just three years before the launching of the U.S. Naval Institute Oral History Program. Having missed the opportunity to secure the oral history of this giant of naval history the Institute did the next best thing: gathered and compiled the oral histories of numerous officers loved ones friends and family who had been on close terms with Nimitz. The multiple volumes in this series are an exhaustive resource — and a crucial one to any Nimitz student scholar or biographer. hardcover

Dwight Was Said To Have Learned The Alphabet At A Single Lesson And To Have Been Able To Read The Bible Before He Was Four Years Old.He Had 12 Younger Siblings Including Journalist Theodore Dwight 1764-1846.Dwight First Came To Public Attention With His Yale College 1772 Commencement Address When He Received His M.A. Degree4 And Later His "Valedictory Address" Of 1776 In Which He Described Americans As Having A Unique National Identity As A New "People Who Have The Same Religion The Same Manners The Same Interests The Same Language And The Same Essential Forms And Principles Of Civic Government." In 1793 Dwight Preached A Sermon To The General Association Of Connecticut Entitled A "Discourse On The Genuineness And Authenticity Of The New Testament" Which When Printed The Next Year Became An Important Tract Defending The Orthodox Faith Against Deists And Other Skeptics. Dwight Was The Leader Of The Evangelical New Divinity Faction Of Congregationalism A Group Closely Identified With Connecticut's Emerging Commercial Elite. Although Fiercely Opposed By Religious Moderates Most Notably Yale President Ezra Stiles He Was Elected To The Presidency Of Yale On Stiles's Death In 1795. Shortly Afterwards Dwight Was Elected An Honorary Member Of The Connecticut Society Of The Cincinnati.
