One of the highlights is Pete Seeger's letter to Roger Gaess, "I first met Walter when I was 21 years old and he was about 40. Now I am about 55 and he is in his 70's. Yet I do believe he's one of the youngest people with one of the nimblest minds that I know at present. I can hardly bear to be with him too much, it's so exciting." with the lyrics to the song which Lowenfels composed with Lee Hays "Wasn't That A Time", "Our fathers bled at Valley Forge, / The snow was red with blood, / Their faith was warm at Valley Forge, / Their faith was brotherhood. / Wasnt' that a time / Wasn't that a time / Wasn't that a time / To try men's souls / Wasn't that a terrible time.".
