School History of the United States by John William Jones published in 1906. John William Jones was a Confederate Chaplain in the Civil War, and served under Robert E. Lee. He wrote this particular history book to give a Southern view of the events leading up to the Civil War, as he though that most of the current history books were Northern biased. An interesting book to read through, and it even has a couple of nice maps in it.
The book itself was used at Randolph-Macon Academy in Virginia, as evidenced by an RMA stamp on the inside cover. This book was also once owned by Walter Stephenson Newman, who was the 10th president of Virginia Tech (1947-1962). As a current aerospace graduate student at Virginia Tech this is neat because the wind tunnel at Tech was acquired when Newman was president and the graduate aerospace engineering program itself was established under him. I am reasonably certain this book was his because the time period of the book's age matches up and I bought this book at the Goodwill in Blacksburg.
