I was teaching 8th grade Civics at Ransom Middle when Hunter Scott developed his excellent history fair project. He was a dedicated student who was on a mission to right a wrong because Capt McVay received a dishonorable charge for supposedly not zig zagging retreat on a torpedo assault. Hunter personally interviewed many of the survivors of the U.S.S. INDIANAPOLIS and recorded their personal accounts. I even called my Congressman and asked him to help Hunter prove his case. Hunter is to be commended for his determination to continue his mission inspite of some drawbacks and this is part of the reason why he is the leader he is today…THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO TRUTH. JUSTICE AND THE AMERICAN WAY,. HUNTER SCOTT.

The book entitled Left for Dead has a preface by Cmdr. Hunter Scott (as a young man) and is the story of the USS Indianapolis, the tragedy and the truths uncovered through the diligence of Cmdr. Scott. It is a fascinating historical account of the events at the time of the initial tragedy and the wrongs that followed until a young man’s curiosity helped to give voice to the survivors’ accounting of events.
