Sweetheart and Mother military pillow covers provide a point of
departure for the study of World War I and II and the years of
Civilian Conservation Corps camps of the twentieth century.
Essentially, these important and often charming military
collectibles have been overlooked in the past. This book offers
invaluable information about individual bases and camps and
distinguished military leaders as well as specific historical
events. Through detailed captions and text that accompany 247
images, the reader will find meaningful connections to history at
every turn. This book will be of great interest to textile
enthusiasts, collectors of military artifacts, museums and students
and teachers of history. The author discusses the types of fibers
used to create these items, the names of their manufacturers, and
origins of terms such as "Doughboy." Another fascinating part of
some of the pillow covers is their poetry, which is offered, in its
entirety. This one-of-a-kind landmark study of these objects of
material culture will continue to be a valued resource in years to
come.
