Within his life, cold storageand cheese manufacturing flourished in rural Decatur Township within GreenCounty, Wisconsin. Charles shipped cheese globally; and was far ahead of hiscompetitors' business. Middle name Herbert was derived from my father'sfirst name (Herbert John Ripp). The Ripp family was German ancestry; andthe Zuercher family (Mom) were also Ellis Island Swiss immigrants. The firstbrew of Esser's beer was accomplished in Grandpa Ripp's garage in CrossPlains, Wi.. Thus, there is beer and cheese legacy within our family. I havebeen called Charles (schooling), Charlie, Chuck, Chucky, Herby, Little Herbyand Ripp. I have far too many names; but everyone means well. When Mom(The War Bride) called me Charles Herbert, I immediately knew I was doomed(grounding, paddling, scolding). Most people called me Chucky - some spelledit distastefully Chuckie. Why waste alphabet letters with a long spelling of thename? That's me; and I'm here to tell everyone what it was like growing up insmall-town America a couple generations prior. Please follow along.
Download or read book Bombs and Babies written by Peter J Cooper and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reproduces and expands upon the author’s mother’s diary that she kept from 1942 through 1945 while she lived in England. For most of that time she resided in eastern Surrey about 20 miles from the southern outskirts of London. As part of ‘Bomb Alley’ her area of the county experienced air raids as well as V1 and V2 attacks. She was a war bride, having been married in 1940 to a Canadian army officer who served on the staff of the 1st Canadian Army in England, France and Holland. The author has extensively annotated the diary entries and added considerable historical background in relation to both domestic and military matters. The book describes in detail what life was like for a woman starting a family and keeping house in the English countryside during World War 2, and how different were lifestyles then from what they are today. In revisiting the circumstances surrounding his and his sister’s birth, the journey for the author was one of personal revelation as well as historical interest.

Download or read book A Woman s Civil War written by Cornelia Peake McDonald and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cornelia Peake McDonald kept a diary during the Civil War (1861- 1865) at her husband's request, but some entries were written between the lines of printed books due to a shortage of paper and other entries were lost. In 1875, she assembled her scattered notes and records of the war period into a blank book to leave to her children. The diary entries describe civilian life in Winchester, Va., occupation by Confederate troops prior to the 1st Manassas, her husband's war experiences, the Valley campaigns and occupation of Winchester and her home by Union troops, the death of her baby girl, the family's "refugee life" in Lexington, reports of battles elsewhere, and news of family and friends in the army.
Download or read book A Maryland Bride in the Deep South written by Kimberly Harrison and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2006-04-28 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "They say I'm a Yankee -- but if wanting peace is Yankee -- then I am one. I am tired of Disunion of husband & wife." In 1858, nineteen-year-old Priscilla "Mittie" Munnikhuysen began a new diary that saw her marry, leave her family in the genteel Protestant seaboard culture of Chesapeake Bay, and take up residence with her wealthy husband, Howard Bond, in the frontier plantation society of Catholicsouth Louisiana. By 1865, Priscilla Bond had witnessed trials and disillusionments enough to fill a two-volume journal: her father-in-law's brutality toward his slaves; her husband's alleged ambush of Union soldiers and subsequent flight from home; the retaliatory burning of the family's sugar plantation in Houma; and the losses, horrors, and daily depredations of war.Published here for the first time, with extensive notes and a critical introduction by Kimberly Harrison, Bond's intimate writings illuminate the Civil War's impact on women, families, and individual identities. Occasionally Bond records her experiences for the benefit of later readers, but more often she uses her diary to carve a space and time for self-reflection, self-instruction, and self-persuasion. Nineteenth-century women's lives were defined by their relation to others -- as wife, mother, daughter, and sister -- and keeping a diary allowed Bond to claim time for herself. It served as a rhetorical tool that helped motivate her to conform to contemporary standards of "true womanhood," adapt to a harsh new environment, and survive the collapse of a civilization. Harrison's interpretive commentary enables readers to appreciate the context within which Bond writes even as entries about everything from marital anguish to in-law difficulties to religious struggles to failing health bring Priscilla Bond uniquely and movingly to life. Her diary, deftly cross-referenced with numerous letters, adds a valuable and enriching layer of complexity to the larger story of the Civil War home front.

Download or read book The Secret Diary of a World War 2 WAC written by James Meitner and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-16 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Secret Diary of a World War 2 WAC was rediscovered and published just in time to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of World War 2! This book, Marion's original letters home and, and her diary provide us with a fascinating early history of the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC). They deliver insights into the lives of some of the first women soldiers who served in the army between 1942 and 1945. Marion Meitner enlisted in July 1942 in the WAAC just six short weeks after President Roosevelt established it. She was the first woman from Waterloo, Wisconsin to become a Waac and among the first 1,000 women who joined this new women's military organization. Marion kept a diary of her army life while she served at the first WAAC Training Center in Fort Des Moines, Iowa, the WAAC Training Center in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, and after she transferred to Camp Huckstep near Cairo, Egypt. Marion's diary provides us with a day by day understanding of the life of one woman who served in the army during World War 2. The Wacs in Egypt enjoyed active social lives while they worked with the thousands of lonely soldiers stationed there. They hitched rides on military C-46, C-47, and B-17 aircraft to join the flyboys while visiting the Suez Canal for a quick swim, or to enjoy weekend excursions to exotic places such as Benghazi, Casablanca, and Tel Aviv. Many took full advantage of the inexpensive travel opportunities offered by the army to visit Palestine, the Holy Land, Cyprus, and other exotic middle east destinations. Marion's diary, her letters, and this book provide us with detailed insights into the life of the first women who joined the army over 75 years ago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the centennial of the First World War rapidly approaching, historian and bibliographer James T. Controvich offers in The United States in World War I: A Bibliographic Guide the most comprehensive, up-to-date reference bibliography yet published. Organized by subject, this bibliography includes the full range of sources: vintage publications of the time, books, pamphlets, periodical titles, theses, dissertations, and archival sources held by federal and state organizations, as well as those in public and private hands, including historical societies and museums. As Controvich’s bibliographic accounting makes clear, there were many facets of World War I that remain virtually unknown to this day. Throughout, Controvich’s bibliography tracks the primary sources that tell each of these stories—and many others besides—during this tense period in American history. Each entry lists the author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, and page count as well as descriptive information concerning illustrations, plates, ports, maps, diagrams, and plans. The armed forces section carries additional information on rosters, awards, citations, and killed and wounded in action lists. The United States in World War I: A Bibliographic Guide is an ideal research tool for students and scholars of World War I and American history.

Download or read book Handbook of Marriage and the Family written by Suzanne K. Steinmetz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 932 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lucid, straightforward Preface of this Handbook by the two editors and the comprehenSIve perspec tives offered in the Introduction by one ofthem leave little for a Foreword to add. It is therefore limIted to two relevant but not intrinsically related points vis-a-vis research on marriage and the family in the interval since the fIrst Handbook (Christensen, 1964) appeared, namely: the impact on this research ofthe politicization of the New RIght! and of the Feminist Enlightenment beginning in the mid-sixties, about the time of the fIrst Handbook. In the late 1930s Willard Waller noted: "Fifty years or more ago about 1890, most people had the greatest respect for the institution called the family and wished to learn nothing whatever about it. . . . Everything that concerned the life of men and women and their children was shrouded from the light. Today much of that has been changed. Gone is the concealment of the way in which life begins, gone the irrational sanctity of the home. The aura of sentiment which once protected the family from discussion clings to it no more .... We wantto learn as much about it as we can and to understand it as thoroughly as possible, for there is a rising recognition in America that vast numbers of its families are sick-from internal frustrations and from external buffeting. We are engaged in the process of reconstructing our family institutions through criticism and discussion" (1938, pp. 3-4).
