Brothers in Blood is available!

In the 150th anniversary of the bloodiest years of the United States, exactly 151 years and three weeks after the pivotal battle of Gettysburg...

And in the 175th year of the existence of the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity...

It is with great delight we announce the publication of Brothers In Blood, the new historical narrative by former General Secretary and General Fraternity President, B. Hume Morris II, Centre 1968!

Here is the "blurb":

BROTHERS IN BLOOD is a historical narrative which examines friendship as exemplified by the American College Fraternities of the 1800s: friendship as seen on the canvas of their foundation and growth, and in particular during the Civil War, which may be more aptly called "The War Between the Brothers."

In today's world, friendship and manhood are misunderstood, virtues like self-sacrifice, wisdom, perseverance and courage are rejected. Here you will find these great ideas revealed in events which really occurred.

All too often these days, the focus is on men who fail. This book presents examples of men who succeeded, even in the most paradoxical manner.

In this fascinating insight into a little-known but rich part of American history, stories hitherto known only to fraternity lore-masters are recounted with a dramatic power which puts the reader right on the field - and there you will learn a little of why All Friendship Is Exclusive, and face up to the challenge our forefathers once faced: What Idea Would You Die For?

A note from your host: I am the editor of this book. You may recognize my name as the author of another Large Red Book which appeared 25 years ago. This book is an intense experience: rich in history, in fraternity lore, and that most important quality known as Human Interest. It will be of great interest to anyone interested in the Civil War, in the American College Fraternity, or in that most grand of human traits known as FRIENDSHIP...

Tolle, lege.
