What other Linton Hall Military School Alumni wrote
Other former Linton Hall cadets have written about their experiences:
Augustus Cho has written two books about Linton Hall Military School. The most recent covers his first year at Linton Hall during the 1968-1969 academic year.
Another blog about Linton Hall Military School has been started by an alumnus who calls himself "LHMS Cadet." (Despite the similarity in our pen names, we are two different people.) This alumnus has previously posted lengthy, detailed, and extremely perceptive comments on my blog.
In his own, excellent blog he describes "Growing up at Linton Hall Military School: the good, the bad, and the ugly" just as I remember it, and has also written extremely interesting details about two significant events at Linton Hall that I was not aware of until reading about them on his blog.
A recent blog post deals witht he ways in which cadets (children) were punished, and the author wisely notes how "They would stay on you until they either broke your spirit and if they could not do that, they found a way to expel you from school."
Although his blog is no longer online, some posts may be found in archive.org if you search for lhmscadet.wordpress.com/
"A day in the life of PFC Charles Carreon, nine years old" is an autobiographical account of just one day at Linton Hall, from Reveille to Taps, when "In the darkness Charles would have liked a piece of bread, some bit of luxury to comfort him, but he always forgot to bring his own contraband." Written in 1982, it is no longer online but may be fund on archive.org if you search for american-buddha.com/day.in.life.htm
