"The Oldest Living Graduate is the autobiographical account of LTG William J. Ely, who began his life's journey in 1911 when he was born on a small Pennsylvania farm. He graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1933 and went on to serve for Thirty-three years, rising to the rank of Lieutenant general before his retirement from the service in 1966. Then, returning to military education and experience to other uses, he built a successful career as a civil engineer. He also designed a golf course, assembled an admirable record as an amateur golfer, and co-authored Lief Sverdrup: Engineer Soldier at His Best. In his personal life, beginning before his retirement from active duty, he and Helen, his wife, raised a family and marked seventy-four years together before her own death at one hundred. The Oldest Living Graduate reaches its end with a brief personal status report of the author's daily life. He chose as the final chapter's last word a portion of the lyrics from West Point's "Alma Mater" : "And when our work is done. / Our course on earth is run. / May it be said, 'Well done. / Be thou at peace.'" Weather you are one who relishes reading personal histories or one who admires individuals who live with tenacity and hood humor, The Oldest Living Graduate will satisfy you with its personal look at more than a century of living."--Page 4 of cover.

Ask anyone to name an archetypal Texan, and you're likely to get a larger-than-life character from film or television (say John Wayne's Davy Crockett or J. R. Ewing of TV's Dallas) or a politician with that certain swagger (think LBJ or George W. Bush). That all of these figures are white and male and bursting with self-confidence is no accident, asserts Leigh Clemons. In this thoughtful study of what makes a "Texan," she reveals how Texan identity grew out of the history—and, even more, the myth—of the heroic deeds performed by Anglo men during the Texas Revolution and the years of the Republic and how this identity is constructed and maintained by theatre and other representational practices. Clemons looks at a wide range of venues in which "Texanness" is performed, including historic sites such as the Alamo, the battlefield at Goliad, and the San Jacinto Monument; museums such as the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum; seasonal outdoor dramas such as Texas!at Palo Duro Canyon; films such as John Wayne'sThe Alamoand the IMAX'sAlamo: The Price of Freedom; plays and TV shows such as theTunatrilogy,Dallas, andKing of the Hill; and theCavalcade of Texas performance at the 1936 Texas Centennial. She persuasively demonstrates that these performances have created a Texan identity that has become a brand, a commodity that can be sold to the public and even manipulated for political purposes.
