Book Description
Approximately 3,800 men and women from Walla Walla County, Washington served during WWII. Ninety-three of them did not survive. These soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and a Seabee perished in air, land, and sea battles; plane crashes; and accidents in all 4 theaters of operation. Six died as POWs at the hands of the Japanese. Thirteen became fatalities while still stationed here in the states. Most of those who were lost, lie at rest in cemeteries across the country, several in overseas American cemeteries, and some are only listed on Tablets of the Missing at various cemeteries. The book is an extension of the project to build a monument in honor of all who served. Although we never met any of the 93 servicemen, they are still our comrades in arms. As veterans from families including many other veterans, we felt compelled to tell their stories. We gathered biographical information and merged that with a description of the battle or event in which each man was lost. Several families also provided information that could not have been found anywhere else. Their lives were cut short while in service to this great nation, but their selfless heroic deeds will never be forgotten.

Concrete Mama
Author: John A. McCoy
Publisher: University of Washington Press
ISBN: 0295743999
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Journalists John McCoy and Ethan Hoffman spent four months inside the walls of the Washington State Penitentiary at Walla Walla in 1978, just as Washington, once a leader in prison reform, abandoned its focus on reform and rehabilitation and returned to cell time and punishment. It was a brutal transition. McCoy and Hoffman roamed the maximum-security compound almost at will, observing and befriending prisoners and guards. The result is a striking depiction of a community in which there was little to do, much to fear, and a culture that both mimicked and scorned the outside world. McCoy’s unadorned prose and Hoffman’s stunning black-and-white photographs offer as authentic a portrayal of life in the Big House as “outsiders” are ever likely to experience. Originally published in 1981, Concrete Mama revealed a previously unseen stark and complex world of life on the inside, for which it won the Washington State Book Award. Long unavailable yet still relevant, it is revitalized in a second edition with an introduction by scholar Dan Berger that provides historical context for the book's ongoing resonance, along with several previously unpublished photographs.
