Tschiegg ???52 has meticulously researched, organized and written a history of Valley Forge Military Academy and College. Drawing on a variety of sources, including written documents and interviews with numerous alumni and former staff, Mr. Tschiegg has created a comprehensive look at the evolution of Valley Forge from its earliest days in Devon through its growth over the years. Tschiegg paints a vivid portrait of the individuals who most influenced Valley Forge over the years. The genius of Milton G. Baker, the grace and support of May H. Baker, the strength and moral character of Milton M. Medenbach, and many others shaped the institution and created a legacy that few can ever hope to imitate. Over the past year, Mr. Tschiegg has turned his time and effort to adding a chapter in his manuscript devoted to one of Valley Forge???s most illustrious sons, Eric Fisher Wood, Jr. Eric Wood was, by all accounts, a cadet who achieved much during his tenure. However, it was the incomparable courage and sacrifice during World War II by Army Second Lieutenant Wood that will best be remembered not only by his descendants and Valley Forge brothers, but also by a grateful Belgian nation. Drawing on a variety of books by military historians as well as magazine articles from the 1940s and personal documents provided by members of the Wood family, Ronald Tschiegg provides a riveting story of the audacity and heroism of Eric Fisher Wood, Jr. against impossible odds. Beginning on Friday, October 23, the article will be posted in 6 weekly installments on ContinentalOnLine (www.continentalonline.org) under The Library forum (sub-forum History). You are cordially invited to sign in to the website (registration for membership is required) and read this fascinating account of a true hero."
