The next meeting of the Veterans Book Club will be Thursday March 11, 5:30. We will be discussing Drum-Taps by Walt Whitman. It is a collection of poems written in response to the the American Civil War. We are fortunate to have two of our knowledgeable faculty members to help lead our discussion. Tom Murphy, professor of history, will provide background on the civil war era, and Jake Mattox, associate professor of English, will give us context on the literary importance of these poems,
