Описание
As did all communities in America, Independence, Wisconsin, contributed heavily toward the effort of defeating the Axis during World War II. Independence is a small rural community in the west-central part of the state, and most of its young men and women had never traveled far from home before finding themselves on trains heading to basic training. They then found themselves stationed throughout the world, fighting for an ideal that some probably didn't even understand fully. Some of them did not return. Over several years in the 1990's, the author, whose father himself was an artillery officer in the Pacific Theater, interviewed and corresponded with many veterans and their families, obtaining oral histories, written histories, and other documents. He also reviewed the local newspaper, the Independence News-Wave, whose publisher, Glenn Kirkpatrick, did a magnificent job of keeping people in the "trade area" as informed as possible of the whereabouts of its young service men and women. Through 22 oral histories, 82 additional thorough biographies, and more than 175 shorter "glimpses," "A Small Town Goes To War" is the author's attempt at preserving the history of his hometown's participation in World War II. The book contains many photos and letters in their entirety. Among the stories are those of a Merrill's Marauder, a Nuremberg assistant prosecutor, POW's, a physical trainer of the Navy's first black officers, and Trempealeau County's highest decorated veteran (Distinguished Service Cross and two Silver Stars), all of whom hailed from Independence. Also included is a most bizarre story involving a member of the 1st Cavalry Division that happened thirty years after his participation in the Battle for Manila.
