This beautiful 10x10 gift book rediscovers the fascinating past of America’s oldest continuously occupied Army post through nearly 200 rare photographs culled from the Library of Congress, the National Archives, and the United States Military Academy at West Point, all showcased with exceptional clarity and beauty.
From the 1860s through the 1960s, parades to politicians, polo matches to presidential visits, the Plain to the construction of the Cadet Chapel, and much more, West Point shines through the decades in glorious black-and-white photography, displayed in a large format. It’s a great book for any travel, history or photography fan!
