3-0 out of 5 stars Charles Henry Veil
[This review is based on the hardcover edition published by Orion Books, First edition, 1993]

Charles Henry Veil's chief claim to fame is his recovering the body of Gen. John Reynolds after he had been killed during the early fighting on the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg. He went on to serve in the First U.S. Cavalry for the rest of the war, and then in the Arizona Territory until 1871. After his army days, Veil was involved in farming and mining around Phoenix for most of the rest of his life. These memoirs are mainly concerned with his army experiences during the war and out west.

Born in Scalp Level, PA, in 1842, Veil joined the army in 1861. He was Reynolds's orderly when the Union general was shot and killed in McPherson's Woods by a rebel sharpshooter, and helped remove his body from the field (often later when he related the story he claimed he did it alone). The death of Reynolds, commander of First Corps, was a great loss to the Union cause, some equating it to Stonewall Jackson's death and loss to the Confederacy. Veil finished out the war with the First U.S. Cavalry, after which he was shipped to Arizona in 1866. Many of his duties there seemed to involve capturing deserters; once he shot and killed two deserters with one bullet. Charged with incompetence and misconduct (the last of a sexual nature) - not a word of which enters the memoirs - he was honorably discharged in 1871 when the army was cutting down on its forces. Engaged not very successfully in mining for a number of years, after his wife died in 1891 he returned to Pennsylvania, pretty much broke. He died there in 1910.

Veil's memoirs are fairly routine and do not reveal much information. He is vague regarding specifics: dates, locations, names all go missing, replaced by textbook generalities. "The road we were on led to Yellow Tavern." That's it, no more information given. His later career came under a fog of moral ambiguity, which he refuses to acknowledge. Other than adding a helpful introduction, editor Herman Viola's presence is hardly felt, and that's a shame. Charles Veil might have been a witness to Reynolds's death at Gettysburg and even killed two men with one discharge from his gun, but these memoirs don't add up to much that is substantial. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars A teacher's story

Our elementary school gives a copy of this book to each teacher leaving at the end of a school year, whether transferring or retiring.It is a wonderful book that becomes a treasured memory of their years with us. I was pleased to see how quick and easy it was to order through Amazon.comAND they had plenty of books on hand!

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Aunt Arizona
this is the most wonderful book, everyone who loves to travel and has dreams of travel.
It is a childrens book with beautiful illustration and a tribute to all teachers. If you
love a teacher it would make a wonderful gift.

5-0 out of 5 stars My Great Aunt Arizona

Several years ago, I first read this book to my second grade class, for the purpose of focusing on illustrations.I never anticipated this book would have meant so much to my students and to myself as a long-time educator.I have given this book many times as gifts for:young teachers entering the profession, fellow teachers who have re-located, and lately to colleagues who are retiring.It's a perfect gift!

5-0 out of 5 stars A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO TEACHERS EVERYWHERE
My Great Aunt Arizona by Gloria Houston, and illustrated by Susan Condie Lamb is a true tribute to teachers everywhere. I have seldom been touched by a book for young men and women as much as this one. The story is simple, but it is one of the most sincere works that I have seen for some time now.

The author's Great Aunt, Arizona Houston Hughes was born on Henson Creek in the Blue Ridge Mountains. She attended a one room school house and from the very start, dreamed of visiting far away places and seeing wonderful sights. The story follows the little girl, Arizona, as she grows from a young girl to a woman, a wife, mother and teacher. Yes there were hardships, obstacles placed in front of her, but her obvious determined spirit prevailed. Through sheer stubbornness and will, Arizona does indeed receive her teaching certificate and begins her life long teaching career teaching in the little one room schoolhouse where she herself attended.

The story follows the author's aunt through marriage, the birth of her child and her final retirement from a profession in which she excelled. Mrs. Arizona Houston Hughes ended teaching several generations of fourth grade students and having a great impact on their lives. She lived to the age of 93.

This is a well written work. The author's low keyed, yet precise and poetic prose is almost hypnotic at times. You feel and see what the young teachers feels and sees; through her eyes and the eyes of those around her and knew her. Her wish to see far away places was never actually fulfilled literally, but was fulfilled through the wonderful gift of knowledge, curiosity and wonder that she was able to passes on to her many students.

The illustrations in this small work are wonderful and perfectly executed. Each frame fits the story line perfectly. This team of Houston and Lamb is a winner by any standard. The background, dress, details and feeling of the Blue Ridge Mountains are captured perfectly.

As a side note; I have read this same story to the same group of third graders four times now. After this lat reading I had three little girls come up after class and inform me that they wanted to be teachers just like the "lady in the book." I have to admit that I got a bit choked up over that.

This is a wonderful read for children, either on their own, or as a group read. It is a strong, strong tribute to teachers, those in a profession which I personally feel is one of the most important we have. Not only should teachers read this one, but all those that are interested in their child's education and it is a good reminder to all of us that one person can indeed make a tremendous difference in many, many lives.

5-0 out of 5 stars One of the BEST children's books ever written!And it's true!
My Great Aunt Arizona is a beautifully-written, beautifully-illustrated book based on a real person, the author's great aunt Arizona.We loved the book so much we took a family vacation some years ago to see the area.The artist obviously went there and saw Henson Creek and the real places, just as we did.We saw Great Aunt Arizona's grave site, too, and met the author's mother.

We love this book so much we have donated it to a couple of libraries and given it as gifts many times.Top notch!
