  The Legends of the West Point...

  West Point has long been America’s most famous military academy, but in the early 19th century, it was a highly unimpressive school consisting of a few ugly buildings facing a desolate, barren parade ground. Established with just five officers and ten cadets of the Corps of Engineers on March 16, 1802, the Academy was built on a spot just 50 miles north of New York City which had been a key Hudson River military fortress during the Revolutionary War. Cadets attending during the “Point's” first several decades were obliged to maintain their daily regimen knowing the school might shut down at any moment, as the U. S. government frequently questioned why it should provide free education. 
  As it turned out, West Point would become the foremost military academy in the nation, but none of the West Point classes became as famous as the Class of 1846, which boasted more than a dozen future Civil War generals. The Class of 1846 included a shy kid named Thomas Jonathan Jackson who made few friends and struggled with his studies, finishing 17th in his class 15 years before becoming Stonewall. Also in that class was A.P. Hill, who was already in love with the future wife of George McClellan, a young prodigy who finished second in the class of 1846. A popular and mischievous George Pickett would play hooky at the local bar and struggle just to finish last in the class, and the Class of 1846 also churned out critical Union generals like Jesse Reno, Darius Couch, and George Stoneman. 
  Before these men opposed each other on Civil War battlefields, they forged their own friendships and charted their future paths together at West Point and the Mexican-American War.

  Robot Nemesis by E.E. "Doc" Smith - Humanity’s Creation Becomes Its Executioner 
  E.E. “Doc” Smith, often hailed as the father of the space opera, was born Edward Elmer Smith on May 2, 1890, in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. A chemist by training—he earned a Ph.D. in chemical engineering—Smith balanced a professional career in food science with a passion for writing grand, galaxy-spanning science fiction. His literary debut came in 1928 with The Skylark of Space, one of the earliest stories to explore interstellar travel with scientific plausibility and epic scale. Co-written with his neighbor Lee Hawkins Garby, the novel introduced many elements that would come to define the genre. 
  Smith is best known for the Lensman and Skylark series, foundational works that inspired generations of authors and helped shape the golden age of science fiction. His stories were packed with super-science, titanic battles between good and evil, and larger-than-life heroes. While his prose was often described as melodramatic and his characters archetypal, his visionary imagination and sense of cosmic scale were unmatched in his time.
