Linton Hall Military School in Bristow, Virginia, was a boarding school for boys ages 6 to 16 run by Catholic nuns of the Benedictine order. The author, who attended in the mid-1960s, describes significant events, cruel corporal punishments, unevenly enforced rules, and recent correspondence from the author asking for an apology from the former principal, and her surprising response.
Chapters tell the truth about the Rule of Saint Benedict and how he advocated treating children, and about Linton Hall's precursor school, which in 1922 had bedbugs, lice, a typhoid fever outbreak, and a fake priest. Plus, revealing details of how a big chunk of land donated for the purpose of educating poor boys ended up being sold off to build a $11 million 'monastery' including a $132,000 "prayer labyrinth" - all this for a total of 30 nuns.
Includes fascinating biographies of the former principal, coach, priest and the last three of the school's four commandants. Many photos and copies of original documents are included.
Often sad, sometimes humorous, but always true and well-documented, this is a fascinating look into Linton Hall Military School.
'Linton Hall Cadet' attended LHMS during the late 1960s, graduated as an officer and earned a medal. This book reflects his experiences and opinions. Neither the author nor the publisher is affiliated with Linton Hall School, Linton Hall Military School or the Benedictine Sisters of Virginia.
