Hoosiers on the Home Front
Indiana University Press (Verlag)
978-0-253-06345-8 (ISBN)
Drawn from the rich holdings of the Indiana Magazine of History, a journal of state and midwestern history published since 1905, this collection includes original diaries, letters and memoirs, and research essays—all focused on Hoosiers on the home front of the Civil War through the Vietnam War.
Readers will meet, among others, Joshua Jones of the 19th Indiana Volunteer Regiment and his wife, Celia; Attia Porter, a young resident of Corydon, Indiana, writing to her cousin about Morgan's Raid; Civil War and World War I veterans who came into conflict over the Indianapolis 500 and Memorial Day observances; Virginia Mayberry, a wife and mother on the World War II home front; and university students and professors—including antiwar activist Howard Zinn and conservative writer R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr.—clashing over the Vietnam War.
Hoosiers on the Home Front offers a compelling glimpse of how war impacts everyone, even those who never saw the front line.
Dawn Bakken is Associate Editor of the Indiana Magazine of History, a scholarly journal of state and midwestern history. She is the author of On This Day in Indianapolis History.
