Featured Books
Moravia and Its Past by Leslie L. Luther This is a long-awaited reprint of Mr. Luther's exhaustive history of the Moravia area, prepared for publication by Mr. S.T. Joshi.  It has been set in a new easier-to-read typeface using state-of-the art printing techniques with corrections to some apparent typographical errors.  The index has been entirely recompiled, and emphasis has been placed on indexing nearly every name, place and business.  While this edition is a high-quality hard cover book, we are making it available to our members and the public at a very reasonable cost. Hardcover, 414 pages $30.00 Members $35.00 Non-members	Following the Drum by Don Mortin This book chronicles the activities of the 75th New York Volunteer Infantry Regiment in the Civil War and is told in their own words. Author Donald E. Mortin has molded their stories into a compelling narrative; detailing the small joys and the excruciating hardship of a soldier's daily life during the Civil War, and tracing the 75th New York through the regiment's postings and battles. The result is a unique portrait of ordinary men engulfed in one of the most extraordinary periods in American history.   Paperback, 308 pages $24.00 Members $25.00 Non-members	The Drum Major of of Company A by Frank Foti Colonel Speck, deserves a place of honor in the pantheon of Moravias celebrities alongside Millard Fillmore, Jethro Wood, John D. Rockefeller, Dr. Cyrus Powers and others. A celebrated midget, Speck lived a grand and fascinating life across a broad spectrum of careers. Possessing extraordinary musical talent and acting ability, he entered show business at the tender age of sixteen. Speck toured the country as a member of the famous Liliputian Opera Company for five seasons. Following his retirement from show business in 1884, he returned to Moravia and became one of the towns most beloved community and business leaders.
