During the final days of the Civil War; Dr. William Ward and his wife; Eliza Ward; envisioned a school for young women in Nashville that would evolve into one of the nation�s most prestigious institutions. As the New South dawned; Ward Seminary opened its doors in September 1865. Merging with Belmont College for Young Women in 1913; Ward-Belmont operated as a college preparatory school; music conservatory; and junior college. In 1951; the high school division moved farther west; reopening as the Harpeth Hall School after Ward-Belmont�s sudden closure. Ward Seminary; Belmont College; Ward-Belmont; and Harpeth Hall are simply separate chapters of one continuous story. As Harpeth Hall celebrates 150 years; its story reflects a unique case study and provides a lens through which to understand the evolution of all-girls education in the United States. The Harpeth Hall School remains one of the oldest all-girls college preparatory schools in the South.

A poison for real journalismBy KamiThe book has been one of the worse books I have ever read regarding media skills. As a professional journalist; I found some of the suggestions in this book more fictional than truth related news gathering.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Tips from a great storytellerBy Ann BBob Dotson has been telling the American story for 49 years. How does he do it? Read the book to understand what it takes to make a compelling story using not just lots of cool technology but the gift of storytelling itself. In ancient times; when our ancestors sat around the fire; storytellers were honored members of the tribe. Sill today; its so important that we share the stories that show our history and humanity. Nobody does that better than Bob Dotson.
