Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning author of Kentucky Marine “has crafted an excellent account of how World War I impacted Kentucky socially, economically, and politically” (Journal of America’s Military Past). From five thousand children marching in a parade, singing, “Johnnie get your hoe . . . Mary dig your row,” to communities banding together to observe Meatless Tuesdays and Wheatless Wednesdays, Kentuckians were loyal supporters of their country during the First World War. Kentucky had one of the lowest rates of draft dodging in the nation, and the state increased its coal production by 50 percent during the war years. Overwhelmingly, the people of the Commonwealth set aside partisan interests and worked together to help the nation achieve victory in Europe. David J. Bettez provides the first comprehensive analysis of the impact of the Great War on Bluegrass society, politics, economy, and culture, contextualizing the state’s involvement within the national experience. His exhaustively researched study examines the Kentucky Council of Defense—which sponsored local war-effort activities—military mobilization and preparation, opposition and dissent, and the role of religion and higher education in shaping the state’s response to the war. It also describes the efforts of Kentuckians who served abroad in military and civilian capacities, and postwar memorialization of their contributions. Kentucky and the Great War explores the impact of the conflict on women’s suffrage, child labor, and African American life. In particular, Bettez investigates how black citizens were urged to support a war to make the world “safe for democracy” even as their civil rights and freedoms were violated in the Jim Crow South. This engaging and timely social history offers new perspectives on an overlooked aspect of World War I.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Martin County in the World War, 1917-1919 The preparation of this work was undertaken in order that the record of Martin County's services and sacrifices in the field and at home during the World War might be preserved to posterity. Martin County will have cause ever to reflect with pride upon what her people did in the great war for the preservation of our liberty and the overthrow of monarchical despotism and autocracy. The record herein contained is written imperfectly and incompletely, the material collected and collated while the memories of the war are fresh in the minds of all. It is the hope of the publishers that the work will possess the merit of interest to the people of this period and be of some historical value to future generations. The preparation of the individual records of the service men and women has involved almost endless labor and research, accomplished in nearly every case by personal interviews. The data has been assembled by one thoroughly conversant with military terminology and organization. It is therefore reasonably believed that a maximum of accuracy has been attained. It is a matter of regret to the publishers that not every individual record is complete and accompanied by a portrait. Every endeavor to that end, consistent with the time available for the purpose, was made but there were instances where inability to locate, indifference or other reason has made it impossible to accomplish the desired result. This is essentially a memorial volume devoted principally to the records of the service men. Other features have been introduced but civilian war activities have necessarily been subordinated that the limitations of a single volume might be adequate and the cost of production not rendered prohibitive. In compilation we have had valuable assistance from many individuals, all of which is gratefully acknowledged.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the World War, 1917, 1918, 1919: Cottonwood County, Minnesota President Wilson demanded that Germany cease her unlawful attacks upon American shipping, but his righteous demands were met with evasion. Events moved fast, Germany paid no heed to the President's protests, and the United States Govern ment resolved to arm the American ships and to repel such attacks. This course proved useless, so war was the only alternative. On April 6, 1917. Congress passed a resolution de claring that a state of war existed between the United States Government and the German Empire, and the President issued a proclamation calling the nation to arms. Volunteers were called to recruit the Army and Navy and the people were called upon to support the government in any emergency. Every loyal citizen was expected to do his duty. The government at Washington could not win the war alone. The call to service went out to' the remotest parts of the country and the response from all over the land brought with it the assurance of victory. Immediately upon the declaration of war, a call was made for the Army and Navy, the country heretofore always relying on this method of rais ing troops for the army. A great number of our patriotic men and boys responded to this call and were sent to the various camps and training schools which the government had established. When this call to service came the boys of Cottonwood County responded nobly by enlisting in the Army, Navy and Marine Corps.

This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ripley County's Part in the World War, 1917-1918 Thanks are due to the county chairmen of the various war organizations for their reports. Also to the War Mothers for their help in collecting the soldiers' and sailors' service records for the state and county honor rolls. Thanks are due to each of our five county papers for their help in carrying notices, articles and so forth in connection with the collection and publishing of our history. Mr. Harry Monroe of Batesville deserves special credit for furnishing practically all of the war pictures for the book aside from individual photographs. If an historian had been put to work at the be ginning oi our part in the war, we should doubtless have kept a few things that are lost to us. But it is believed that the essentials remain and will prove to be entirely trustworthy as a record of Ripley coun ty's World War service at home and abroad.
