Readers will find at the end of the story a battle-scarred but still standing youth, heading off to the next stage in his life, having gained much in the way of character development, one who \"gave as much as he got.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second level of the story traces four generations of families from the Civil War to the 1950s, including their pedigrees, feuds, and religion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlso included is a history of Witherspoon College itself, with an emphasis on benefactors from Brooklyn, New York.
