A must read for anyone with a connection to Norwich University. Lots of great stories and background information surrounding some of the most prolific legends in Norwich history. It's a quick read that brought back great memories from my time on the Hill.

By J. Palo

This book is a must read for present Norwich Cadets and Norwich alumni. Randy's research provided great insight to Norwich's rich history-- things our Rook Book never told us! It is certainly a book I will read more than once.

An excellent taste of a mostly untold side of Norwich history. A quick and engaging read that is well researched and documented. Looking forward to more from Mr. Miller.
