Download or read book The Civil War Canteen Third Edition written by Robert Jones and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-06-22 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the outbreak of hostilities in April of 1861, thousands of men would be called upon to leave the safety of their homes and go off to war. This was a new experience; for many of these Òcitizen soldiersÓ, not only would it be the first time they were away from home, for many it was the first time they left their hometown. These new recruits would not only have to fight their fellow Americans, in many cases they would be facing their own relatives on the battlefield. Some men would carry muskets, others would carry revolvers. Some would fire cannons, while others waved swords, but there was one thing they all had in common, both enlisted man and officer, they all carried canteens. This book will give the reader a rare opportunity to take a glimpse into the past to see many rare and original canteens, accompanied by period photographs (many colorized). This book is published in full-color so you can really appreciate these unique artifacts from the Civil War. A full index is ideal for research.

Book excerpt: Inspired by the Stage Door Canteen in New York, Bette Davis and John Garfield saw the need of a similar enterprise on the West Coast. From 1942 to 1945, over three million servicemen came through its doors on their way to fight in the Pacific--some never to return.

Knowing they were so appreciated, the soldiers were armed with the kinds of hope and encouragement that would help them win a war.--from the back cover.

Download or read book Once Upon a Town written by Bob Greene and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In search of "the best America there ever was," bestselling author and award-winning journalist Bob Greene finds it in a small Nebraska town few people pass through today—a town where Greene discovers the echoes of the most touching love story imaginable: a love story between a country and its sons. During World War II, American soldiers from every city and walk of life rolled through North Platte, Nebraska, on troop trains en route to their ultimate destinations in Europe and the Pacific. The tiny town, wanting to offer the servicemen warmth and support, transformed its modest railroad depot into the North Platte Canteen. Every day of the year, every day of the war, the Canteen—staffed and funded entirely by local volunteers—was open from five a.m. until the last troop train of the day pulled away after midnight. Astonishingly, this remote plains community of only 12,000 people provided welcoming words, friendship, and baskets of food and treats to more than six million GIs by the time the war ended. In this poignant and heartwarming eyewitness history, based on interviews with North Platte residents and the soldiers who once passed through, Bob Greene tells a classic, lost-in-the-mists-of-time American story of a grateful country honoring its brave and dedicated sons.
