To any interested Woolsey researchers: I have started to collect Books by and about Woolseys. The following list are books that I have in my possession at the present time. They do not include any genealogical works on, or by, or about the Woolsey family. That is for another list, another time. 1. Woolsey, Jane Stuart. HOSPITAL DAYS. Reminiscence of a Civil War Nurse. Edinborough Press. P.O. Box 13790, Roseville, Minnesota. 1996. "Jane Stuart Woolsey was one of the thousands of women who served in military hospitals during the Civil War. Woolsey came from a remarkable family with the mother, seven sisters, and one brother contributing to the Union cause.

"When eighteen year-old Agnes Woolsey was invited to accompany her uncle, Edward E. Salisbury, his wife and daughter, on a lengthy trip to Europe, her father, Yale president Theodore Woolsey, said she was 'too young to travel abroad .... You cannot yet judge works of art, you know little of the modern history and little of the institutions of the countries you would see, and your mind needs the improvement of further discipline and study before you can see more than the outside of things.' " Agnes apparently thought otherwise and perhaps prepared this journal of her journey to prove to her father that she was, indeed, old enough to appreciate the historical and cultural wonders of England and the Continent. Illustrated. 4. Woolsey, Judge John M. - His decision made on 6 Dec 1933 lifting the ban of obscenity on ULYSSES by James Joyce.

Had I but served my God with half the zeal I served my king, He would not in mine age Have left me naked to mine enemies.
