Excerpt from The Master of the Gunnery
Later again, on being told, in answer to his inquiry. That the book was ready to go to press and only awaited his contribution, he replied: All right. I will write it to-morrow. No one of us doubts that had the morrow of his thought ever dawned his welcome words would have been here in this void to-day. But the morrow found him without the power to write. And the bitter experiences of those few remaining days are still fresh in the memory of us all.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a memorial to Frederick William Gunn, the master of the Gunnery, a school in Connecticut. The author's intention is to honor his dear friend and mentor by painting a vivid picture of his life and work through affectionate reminiscences and insightful biographical sketches from his former students. These reminiscences reveal the political and social climate of the times and show how Gunn, a steadfast abolitionist, was often at odds with the values of his community. Gunn's life is presented as an example of perseverance under adversity. Despite the strong reactions against his political views, Gunn continued to speak his mind and fight for what he believed to be right, ultimately proving himself a fearless and noble pioneer for social justice.
