This fascinating and entertaining book chronicles the college's long struggle for survival, and the many firsts it established in the history of American higher education. It became a state institution in 1906 and a university in 1969. No alumnus and no student of history can fail to appreciate and be enlightened by this narrative and these pictures.

This book is about a dance band in Hampton Roads, Virginia, a modern Big Band called the Sound Of Swing, and the many, many "sidemen" who have kept the group vital for more than 30 years. Part love story, part history of the local music business, part monkeyshines, it was written to celebrate all the swinging characters who play a part in American popular music culture and make it sound so good!

WILLIAMSBURG - The College of William and Mary has been associated with the military since its earliest years. This new book by historian and William and Mary alumnus Wilford Kale takes a look at the military from pre-French and Indian Wars military activity to the present day Reserve Officers' Training Corps on campus. For nearly three hundred and twenty five years William and Mary has fostered civil service along with high academic standards. One of the clearest indications of this commitment is the long-standing military tradition. Through countless military activities, including a World War II Chaplains' School to modern-day military volunteers, college students and faculty have prepared to defend their country and beliefs. Well known for its alumni who rose to political and judicial prominence, the college can also take pride in the number of graduates who have become high-ranking and influential military officers. These included generals, admirals and a secretary of defense-all dedicated to the service of their country. In this illustrated volume, Wilford Kale melds the strands of administrative challenges, military strategy, and educational theory into a cohesive account that keeps individuals at the forefront. Throughout the book, insightful vignettes explore the stories of men and women who bravely served. Kale deftly traces the development of the citizen-soldier-from military to active duty to reservist-and analyzes the college's response to war-related challenges it has faced over the centuries. Although most colleges and universities experienced declining enrollment during the conflicts of the twentieth century, no other suffered similar 18th- and 19th-century destruction. No other school was successively occupied by both armies during both the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. Ultimately, From Soldier to Warrior is a uniquely American story of the blending of education and public service.

The Reverend J. Harold McKeithen Jr. was a Presbyterian minister for 60 years prior to his death in 2019. Of all the responsibilities of pastors McKeithen most enjoyed preaching and built a reputation on telling the story of Jesus Christ to all his churches, including Albemarle Presbyterian Church in Albemarle, N.C., Hidenwood Presbyterian Church in Newport News, Va. and Williamsburg Presbyterian Church in Williamsburg, Va. “I love to Tell the Story” is a compilation of sermons from the churches he served through his ministry. McKeithen’s own strong personal faith is evidenced in his preaching. He said in one sermon, “What I most want to say and most want you to believe is that there is a creator God who loves the world. God loves us so much, in fact, that he gave us his only son. God reached us by coming into our midst in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. Faith is central. Whoever believes in God may not die but have eternal life.”
