1. Good read, 1.
I had to laugh at 'ought' nine. Old Iowa farmers still use that word. Man. John Mosby. That name conjures up my childhood.

3. It was very different back then
one of the legendary figures at Wabash College is the football player whose dying words were, "Did Wabash win?" before succumbing from his football injury (this was around 1905, I think)
