Book excerpt: Mary Frances Willard, a public-school principal from Chicago, was one of thousands of American women who served as welfare workers for U.S. troops in France during World War I. During the war's final months, she operated a canteen and post exchange in Troyes, attended to convalescing servicemen, arranged their burials and wrote letters to their families. After the Armistice, she headed canteen operations in Le Mans for hundreds of thousands of returning servicemen in embarkation camps. In her final months in France, she toured battlefields and the decimated towns along the Western Front. Presented in historical context, her weekly letters home--from August 1918 through July 1919--relate stories of her service to the doughboys and her interactions with French citizens.

After her mother’s passing in April 2020, Quinn discovered letters written by her grandmother, Sadie (Marcum) Montgomery, to her husband, sister, and five children while she was in residence at the Norton State Tuberculosis Sanatorium, Norton, Kansas. Written in the depths of the Great Depression from 1932 to 1933, these letters home to family record the faith, fears, hope, and love of a wife and mother while suffering from a debilitating illness that would eventually take her life. The accompanying photographs further demonstrate the life and times of her family. In Letters from Sadie, Quinn shares this collection of letters and photographs along with a caregivers guide to offer insight for other families, telling what life is like when moving to and residing in an assisted living facility. It chronicles part of one woman’s life story, demonstrating a strong love for family and shows opportunities for advocating for a loved one living in a facility.
Book Synopsis Mississippians in the Great War by : Anne L. Webster
Download or read book Mississippians in the Great War written by Anne L. Webster and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2015-09-08 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even Mississippi textbooks rarely mention the part Mississippi men and women played in World War I. Mississippians in the Great War presents in their own words the story of Mississippians and their roles. This body of work divides into five sections, each associated with crucial dates of American action. Comments relating to various military actions are interspersed throughout to give the reader a context of the wide variety of experiences. Additionally, where possible, Anne L. Webster provides information on the soldier or sailor to show what became of him after his service. Webster examined newspapers from all corners of the state for “letters home,” most appearing in newspapers from Natchez, Greenville, and Pontotoc. The authors of the letters gathered here are from soldiers, aviators, sailors, and relief workers engaged in the service of their country. Letter writing skills varied from citizens of minimal literacy to those who would later become published authors and journalists. These letters reflect the experiences of green, young Mississippians as they endured training camp, voyaged across the Atlantic to France, and participated in horrific battles leaving some scarred for life. To round out the picture, Webster includes correspondence from nurses and YMCA workers who describe drills, uniforms, parades, and celebrations.
Download or read book Seeds of Change written by Tim L. Adsit and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During a time of cultural revolution and civil war, Reverends Glyn and Jean Adsit were missionaries in rural Hofei, China. The political unrest led to many harrowing experiences, as the two were shot at, arrested, incarcerated, and had to flee for their lives when caught in the middle of two advancing armies. In his book, Seeds of Change, Dr. Tim L. Adsit tells the story of his parents' time in China—their struggles and their triumphs. Adsit gives the reader the opportunity to relive the missionary lives of Reverends Glyn and Jean. He provides a rare and unforgettable glimpse into day-to-day missionary life, service, and adventures. One of the greatest contributions of this book is that it traces the general history of the Disciples of Christ missionary movement in China from 1886 to 1951. Also included are never-before-published primary sources to add to the history of the era and work on the mission field in China. '...Here we have a story which began in a simpler, more generous time. It's a story about a couple who struggled like the rest of us with the common, debilitating issues of life, and yet made life-long decisions flowing not from self-interest, but from compassion for others...It's a love story—not only of the deep, selfless love that Glyn and Jean had for each other, but the preeminent love they both had for Jesus Christ...We don't get to read stories like this much anymore.' —Chris Adsit, Director of Disciplemakers International and Director of Resource Initiatives, Military Ministry
Download or read book Anne Sexton written by Anne Sexton and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revealing collection of letters from Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Anne Sexton While confessional poet Anne Sexton included details of her life and battle with mental illness in her published work, her letters to family, friends, and fellow poets provide an even more intimate glimpse into her private world. Selected from thousands of letters and edited by Linda Gray Sexton, the poet’s daughter, and Lois Ames, one of her closest friends, this collection exposes Sexton’s inner life from her boarding school days through her years of growing fame and ultimately to the months leading up to her suicide. Correspondence with writers like W. D. Snodgrass, Robert Lowell, and May Swenson reveals Sexton’s growing confidence in her identity as a poet as she discusses her craft, publications, and teaching appointments. Her private letters chart her marriage to Alfred “Kayo” Sexton, from the giddy excitement following their elopement to their eventual divorce; her grief over the death of her parents; her great love for her daughters balanced with her frustration with the endless tasks of being a housewife; and her persistent struggle with depression. Going beyond the angst and neuroses of her poetry, these letters portray the full complexities of the woman behind the art: passionate, anguished, ambitious, and yearning for connection.
Download or read book Dear Homefolks written by Lila Phelps and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "“Dear Homefolks” is a compilation of letters written by my grandfather to his parents and sisters and their letters in response. The letters are filled with what I term authentic passionate feelings expressed in no uncertain terms. You will find stories of love, hate, jealousy, greed, drug addiction, family relationships, money and job worries, marital happiness and unhappiness, anger, sickness, two world wars, temptation, sadness, joy, and faith; in short, what we all experience today and what has been experienced since the beginning of time. Encompassing events from turn-of-the century 1900 Atlanta where my grandfather attended medical school to rural South Georgia where he grew up and his eccentric sisters lived, these letters led to me reflecting on the Bible verse “there is nothing new under the sun”. I hope reading these letters leads you to reflections of your own."--

Book Synopsis George Washington Carver by : Gary R. Kremer
Download or read book George Washington Carver written by Gary R. Kremer and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Washington Carver (1864-1943) is best known for developing new uses for agricultural crops and teaching methods of soil improvement to southern farmers. This annotated selection of his letters and other writings from the collections at the Tuskegee Institute and the George Washington Carver National Monument in Diamond, Missouri, reveals the forces that shaped his creative genius—including the influence of persistent racism. His letters also show us Carver’s deep love for his fellow man, whether manifested in his efforts to treat polio victims in the 1930s or in his emotionally charged friendships that lasted a lifetime. With a new chapter on the oral history interviews Dr. Kremer conducted (several years after publication of the first edition) with people who knew Carver personally, and the addition of newly uncovered documents and a bank of impressive photographs of Carver and some of his friends, this second edition of our classic title commemorates the 75th anniversary of Carver’s death on January 5, 2018.

Download or read book The Complete Poems written by Anne Sexton and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collected works of Anne Sexton showcase the astonishing career of one of the twentieth century’s most influential poets For Anne Sexton, writing served as both a means of expressing the inner turmoil she experienced for most of her life and as a therapeutic force through which she exorcised her demons. Some of the richest poetic descriptions of depression, anxiety, and desperate hope can be found within Sexton’s work. The Complete Poems, which includes the eight collections published during her life, two posthumously published books, and other poems collected after her death, brings together her remarkable body of work with all of its range of emotion. With her first collection, the haunting To Bedlam and Part Way Back, Sexton stunned critics with her frank treatment of subjects like masturbation, incest, and abortion, blazing a trail for representations of the body, particularly the female body, in poetry. She documented four years of mental illness in her moving Pulitzer Prize–winning collection Live or Die, and reimagined classic fairy tales as macabre and sardonic poems in Transformations. The Awful Rowing Toward God, the last book finished in her lifetime, is an earnest and affecting meditation on the existence of God. As a whole, The Complete Poems reveals a brilliant yet tormented poet who bared her deepest urges, fears, and desires in order to create extraordinarily striking and enduring art.
