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.

Great Pages in History from the Wisconsin State Journal, 1852-2002
Author: Frank Denton
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 9780299183349
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
This fascinating collection reproduces the most important front pages in the history of the Wisconsin State Journal newspaper, from its first publication under that name on September 30, 1852, to the current "War on Terrorism." See what Wisconsinites first read about Abraham Lincoln's election and assassination, Custer's last stand against the Sioux, the first votes by women, Henry Ford's $5 daily wage, the Saint Valentine's Day mob massacre in Chicago, the disappearance of Amelia Earhart as she attempted to fly around the world . . . and the wars, elections, crimes, and social revolutions that have defined the past century and a half. Each front page, reproduced from the original, is readable down to the smallest type. In 2002 the Wisconsin State Journal celebrates its Sesquicentennial, marking one hundred and fifty years of service to the people of Madison and the State of Wisconsin. The newspaper had an earlier inception as the Madison Express in 1839, when Madison was a territorial town on the frontier and statehood was still nine years away. Readers will notice the newspaper's appearance has changed nearly as much as have the methods of gathering the news and producing the paper. But readers' fascination with and hunger for the news of each day remain strong.
