Test. Test. Test. Test. Test. Test. Yes. And the presidency of Washington College . Which i think are actually the five happiest years of his life. I think when he goes to lexington first of all, he leaves behind all of the virginia that he had once known and which, really now for him is dead. And he goes to the valley where the social milue is more Stonewall Jackson than robert e. Lee. But there for the first time in his life, hes got a free hand to do what he wants to do. Its not like being superintendent of west point, where the chief of the corps of engineers was always looking over his shoulder. He is free to be the kind of person he wants to be, and he is extraordinarily successful as a college president. Hes a very Progressive College president. Hes getting rid of all the old curricula. Hes bringing in studies in journalism, in engineering, in law. Hes doing the kinds of things in the valley that Charles Norton elliott is doing at harvard. Hes cutting edge in terms of ped goejy.
Director of the civil war era studies program. He did his graduate work in history at the university of pennsylvania, where he focused on the history of religion. He also has holds a master of divinity degree. His roster of publications is so long that im not going to even try to read them all to you. You can go to allen guelzo. Com and get a full accounting of not only his publications, but other salient elements of his biography and doings. What im going to do here is mention five books that i think are especially pertinent to what well be doing this afternoon, and ill just read it. Abraham lincoln redeemer president , 1998 and won the first of allens lincoln prizes. Lincolns emancipation proclamation, end of slavery in america, published by simon and schuster in 2004 brought him his second lincoln prize. Lincoln and douglas that defined america, simon and schuster 2008 for some reason didnt win the lincoln prize. Fateful lightning, new history of the civil war and reconstruction cam
