Description
The Greatest Generation
The Pennsylvania Wilds comprise a tiny fraction of the state's population, but when the United States entered World War II, the Wilds responded with characteristic courage and determination. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, young men rushed to recruitment centers to serve. Many returned as heroes. Many never returned, paying the ultimate sacrifice. Not to be left out, numerous women filled the ranks of Women's Army Auxiliary Corps or became Navy nurses overseas. On the home front, workers bused in to fill vacancies left by those who went to war flooded the small towns of the Wilds, and all across the region people stepped up to provide defense services and to plant victory gardens.
Compiling contemporary news accounts, letters and firsthand accounts, historian Kathy Myers celebrates and commemorates the region's intrepid war efforts at home and abroad.
