Fighting Hoosiers: Indiana in Two World Wars tells the compelling,
heartbreaking, and breathtaking stories of some of the hundreds of
thousands of Hoosiers who served their country during the First and
Second World Wars. Drawn from the rich holdings of the Indiana
Magazine of History, a journal of state and midwestern history
published since 1905, the collection includes original diaries,
letters and memoirs, as well as research essays-all of them focused
on Hoosiers in the two world wars. Readers will meet Alex Arch, a
Hungarian-born immigrant who was the first American to fire a shot
in World War I; Maude Essig, a nurse serving with the American Red
Cross in wartime France; Kenneth Baker, a soldier in the Army
Signal Corps, who crawled across French fields (sometimes over and
around dead bodies) to lay phone lines for military communications;
and Bernard Rice, a combat medic who witnessed the liberation of
the Dachau concentration camp in 1945. Indiana's brave men and
women like these have served with distinction in the armed forces
since the earliest days of the Indiana Territory. Fighting Hoosiers
offers a compelling glimpse at some of their remarkable stories.
