High Country Index High Country Index Rev. 3 January 2021 The index is comprised of several sections: a “Subject Index” listing all in-depth articles, an “Authors Index” (for major articles exclusively), a separate index combining poetry, sayings, and song lyrics by author, a “Short Index” which contains only the longer or more significant articles from what are usually the very brief items found in “Short Stuff,” “PSA News,” “Ranch Roundup,” and “Philmont’s Neighbors,” and a final index combining “I-Camp” and “Another Good Campsite.” If you cannot find what you seek in the “Subject Index,” be sure to look in the “Short Index.” Because this index was created primarily for writers looking for in-depth articles, most regional reunions/news, editor’s comments, personal items in “Trail Talk,” financial statements, and meeting minutes are not included. This index is designed to be as “user-friendly” as possible and is, therefore, not structured according to leading guides such as the Chicago Manual of Style. The index is updated in January of every new year.

PROFESSOR OF GEOLOGY BAYLOR UNIVERSITY 1929-1934 Objectives of Geological Training at Baylor The training of a geologist in a university covers but a few years; his education continues throughout his active life. The purposes of train­ ing geologists at Baylor University are to provide a sound basis of understanding and to foster a truly geological point of view, both of which are essential for continued professional growth. The staff considers geology to be unique among sciences since it is primarily a field science. All geologic research in­ cluding that done in laboratories must be firmly supported by field observations. The student is encouraged to develop an inquiring ob­ jective attitude and to examine critically all geological concepts and principles. The development of a mature and professional attitude toward geology and geological research is a principal concern of the department. Frontis.

  • Legacy of Honor: the Values and Influence of America's Eagle Scouts
    Legacy of Honor: The Values and Influence of America’s Eagle Scouts By Alvin Townley Thomas Dunne Books ◘ St. Martin’s Press Summary Over the past century, America’s Eagle Scouts have earned a reputation for service, virtue, and leadership recognized throughout the world. But their legacy has never been truly explored – until now. Author and Eagle Scout Alvin Townley set out across the country to learn the stories of these leaders. He spoke with individuals from every region, every age, and every background, some of whom have risen to fame as public figures while others have left a lasting impact outside of the spotlight. The Eagle Scouts who shared their experiences include Bill Gates, Sr., Bill Bradley, J.W. Marriott, Jr., Ross Perot, Michael Bloomberg, Michael Dukakis, coach Chan Gailey, Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, and Capt. Jim Lovell of Apollo 13. The book also explores the virtues of a Tuskegee Airman, a POW from Vietnam, a September 11 NYPD hero, a crew of Hurricane Katrina relief workers, and a host of others from every walk of life. During his journey, Townley discovered stories of character, courage, and inspiration that belong not only to Eagle Scouts but to all Americans. These stories form the heart of Legacy of Honor and offer us a chance to appreciate the profound impact that Eagle Scouts have had on American history and the lasting role they will play in our future. The Author Eagle Scout Alvin Townley grew up in a Scouting family in Atlanta, Georgia. He graduated from Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, and has worked on Capitol Hill and served on the executive staff of an international consulting firm.

  • THE ALCATRAZ ELEVEN the American Pows Sentenced to Vietnam’S Most Infamous Prison and the Extraordinary Women Who Brought Them Home
    THE ALCATRAZ ELEVEN The American POWs Sentenced to Vietnam’s Most Infamous Prison And the Extraordinary Women Who Brought Them Home By Alvin Townley ▪ St. Martin’s Press, New York ▪ Winter 2014 Overview Hundreds of brave Americans were held captive during the Vietnam War. From those, the North Vietnamese singled out the eleven most uncooperative, influential, and subversive prisoners and exiled them to an isolated prison the POWs named Alcatraz for the loneliness, suffering, and torture they endured there. As these men valiantly waged war from their tomblike cells, the defiance, resilience, and unity of THE ALCATRAZ ELEVEN became legend. While North Vietnam imprisoned these men for more than seven years, their remarkable wives soldiered on at home; some didn’t learn their husbands’ fate for more than four years. These women also led a struggle with the U.S. and North Vietnamese governments alike to secure the safe return of their loved ones. Their legacy lives on in the National League of POW/MIA Families, which they founded. THE ALCATRAZ ELEVEN recounts the epic and inspiring triumph of courage, faith, and honor in the darkest of circumstances.
