  Angle of Repose(Wallace Stegner)
This is the voice of Lyman Ward, the retired historian whose joints are locked by degenerative arthritis.
Lyman has been abandoned by his wife Ellen who is unable to cope with his rage at the disease, and attempts to distract himself from his pain by starting a biography of his grandparents, on the assumption that they had led a long and happy life together.
Lyman's understanding of Susan and Oliver grows -- distilled from diaries, pictures and letters -- and he gradually finds that they were more bound by guilt than by affection; and this knowledge gives him the comfort that loyalty is not necessarily the moral superior of abandonment.

 Angle of Repose (Contemporary American Fiction): Current Amazon U.S.A. One-Edition Data
Lyman Ward, a fifty-something professor whose own marriage has disintegrated has returned to his childhood home to write of the marriage of his grandparents, perhaps to determine why their marriage lasted through tremendous adversity when his own could not.
Although Ward reflects on the marriage of his grandparents, this is actually a surrogate for confronting the tragedies in his own, and whether he will rigidly refuse to forgive his wife for her wrongs against him, or whether he will allow redemption and healing to take place.
Lyman, a retired historian dying of a bone disease, is researching his grandparents' lives in order to find out why the two were alienated in their later years.

You see for Lyman’s Grandparents to move to the west is not exactly the same is being driven out of your own land by some thousands of Spaniards or being forced to move to America to become slaves like the Africans.
All that Lyman’s Grandparents did was move to a different part of the country that was different from their standard way of living.

 Reading Group Guide | ANGLE OF REPOSE by Wallace Stegner   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Lyman's literal tunnel vision elucidates the figurative—as an historian he looks to the past, and as a disillusioned husband and father, he finds solace in it.
Without Lyman's narrative input, Susan Burling Ward's story would have flattened into epic melodrama; his perspective broadens the novel's scope, and enables us to draw parallels between Susan's life and his own, between her century and ours.
Angle of Repose was written during a time of tremendous political and social upheaval in America, and Lyman's frequent reflections on the era create much of the tension in the novel.

Ward's stone (she died about four years before her husband) is a loving plea, no doubt penned in sorrow by none other than Dr. Ward himself, but on Dr. Ward's is the somber, but sad, plain truth.
It is to me disappointing that no one who knew Dr. Ward well, and survived him, took the time to write an inscription to express any feelings of sorrow or sympathy or greatness.
Knowing Dr. Ward's giftedness in writing plays and poems from my having had the opportunity to read many of them, I am dismayed that his marker is so plain and unexpressive.

 dOc DVD Review: Brother's Keeper (1992) - Printable
On June 6, 1990, 64-year-old William Ward was found dead in his bed, a bed he shared with his 59-year-old brother Delbert, in the sleepy farming town of Munnsville, New York.
William Ward was one of four brothers, know collectively by the locals as "The Boys," an elderly quartet of simple, quiet, near hermits who lived in a cluttered, rundown farmhouse, completely devoid of heat or running water.
It's an approach that layers the story of Delbert Ward with an urgency and immediacy that is often lacking in "after the fact" documentaries, and the uncertainty of the outcome and the weirdly captivating lives of the Ward "boys" really make for an enthralling story.

 MATHEW BRADY GALLERY, NY - Harriet Beecher Stowe   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Sometime after 1860, Lyman Beecher left Boston to live in Brooklyn with his son, Henry Ward Beecher, popular pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church.
Though the younger Beecher's ministry of love and redemption contrasted strongly with his father's strict Calvinist philosophy, both he and his sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, carried on their father's opposition to slavery.
This image was made around 1861, when Henry Ward Beecher, as editor of the national magazine The Independent, began to call for ever more radical action from Lincoln to end slavery and bring the war to a close.
