Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Kansas State Council of Defense: December, 1920 It is a very difficult matter to recount all of the activities and services of the Kansas State Council of Defense. It was so busy in trying to make world history that it failed to take note of its own records, so that when the Council of Defense closed its work in December, 1918, although a vast deal of work had been done, many things had been begun which were stopped in their midst on account of the sudden closing of the war. As soon as possible people dropped warlike pursuits and devoted themselves to the work of peace. This left the records of the work of many committees, and especially of the counties, in considerable confusion. The editor of this report, which attempts to give a portrayal of the organization and activities of the State Council of Defense, has found great difficulty in collecting the facts regarding the work actually done. In some counties, for instance, where they did persistent and vigorous work careful records were not kept, while in others where not any more work was done everything was carefully recorded. The same is true of the general committees; some of those who were most active did not have elaborate reports, while others reported everything in full. Under such circumstances it has been very difficult to obtain a complete record of service and to give proportionate space to the work of the counties and to the general committees. Some of the committee reports necessarily had to be abbreviated to keep them from being out of proportion, and others were necessarily brief; otherwise the volume would be extended to great length. The editor is very grateful to those who assisted him in furnishing information and records of the transactions of the county organizations and of the state committees. If in the analysis of material an apparent injustice has been done to certain groups of people and certain localities, it has been entirely unintentional; the editor has done the best he could under the circumstances. It must be kept in mind that it was difficult to get the cooperation of people in certain sections of the state in furnishing material. No such organization had ever been established in the state before, because no such need had ever occurred, and the shifting scenes of war gave constant changes in organization and activities of the Council of Defense, although its purpose, that of support of the war in general, and the boys at the front in particular, was never lost sight of. Every individual member of the Kansas Council of Defense held himself in readiness to do everything in his power to forward the movement, and there was complete unanimity of purpose, perfect cooperation and absolute consecration to the cause by every member of the Council.

The United States in World War I

Languages : en
Pages : 657
Book Description
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.

Report of the Wisconsin State Council of Defense

Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
Excerpt from Report of the Wisconsin State Council of Defense: April 12, 1917 June 30, 1919 This is not a history of Wisconsin in the World War. It is a record simply and concisely presented of the State Council of Defense - its organization, method of procedure, and principal activities. Source material for the future historian of Wisconsin's part in the Great War will be found here, as well as numerous suggestions which, followed out, would open up vast stores of information for his use. Neither is this an exhaustive account of any single activity connected, directly or indirectly, with the war. It is only an outline, a mere sketch of the general field. The specific work, the detailed accomplishments, of the seventy-one County Councils of Defense could not be included. These bodies received their legal status through the State Council, and suggestions and general directions were given by the parent body, but it is to the resourcefulness and energy of the individuals in the County Councils of Defense, of the officers and members, that full credit must be given for the magnificent record made by Wisconsin in non-combatant military activities. Their records, as well as those of the State Council, have been carefully preserved and should some day form the basis of the permanent and official History of Wisconsin in the War. Nor is this an account of the accomplishments of individuals. To include only the names of state chairmen in the reports of the various committees and thus imply that they brought about the results accomplished would be manifestly unfair to the thousands of men and women throughout the state whose patriotic and self-sacrificing voluntary service alone made possible whatever was done. Furthermore, there was no self-seeking. All labored toward the common end of strengthening Wisconsin and the Nation to win the decisive victory which came to Allied arms. A list of all the individuals serving in this "home army" would be virtually a roll call of the population of Wisconsin. No individual called upon for service, no matter how menial the task or how insignificant the station, ever failed to respond with full measure of devotion. To attempt to name them all is manifestly impossible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
