Synopsis Montana's Home Front During World War II by : Gary Glynn
This compelling account of Montana's contribution to the war effort covers personal stories, local politics, industry, agriculture, education, sports, and social life during the upheaval of a world-wide conflict. This is the tale of ordinary citizens who came together to support their sons and daughters overseas, and the tens of thousands of residents who left the Treasure State to serve their country in the military and defense plants. Those who remained planted Victory Gardens, purchased record amounts of war bonds, and endured the hardships brought about by war-time shortages and rationing. This highly-readable account is the most comprehensive look at Montana during the early 1940s, and the tremendous sacrifices made by ordinary people to support their country in time of war. Originally published in 1994, this revised edition of the classic Montana's Home Front During World War II includes many rare and previously unpublished photographs--back cover.

Synopsis Meet Joe Copper by : Matthew L. Basso
“I realize that I am a soldier of production whose duties are as important in this war as those of the man behind the gun.” So began the pledge that many home front men took at the outset of World War II when they went to work in the factories, fields, and mines while their compatriots fought in the battlefields of Europe and on the bloody beaches of the Pacific. The male experience of working and living in wartime America is rarely examined, but the story of men like these provides a crucial counter-narrative to the national story of Rosie the Riveter and GI Joe that dominates scholarly and popular discussions of World War II. In Meet Joe Copper, Matthew L. Basso describes the formation of a powerful, white, working-class masculine ideology in the decades prior to the war, and shows how it thrived—on the job, in the community, and through union politics. Basso recalls for us the practices and beliefs of the first- and second-generation immigrant copper workers of Montana while advancing the historical conversation on gender, class, and the formation of a white ethnic racial identity. Meet Joe Copper provides a context for our ideas of postwar masculinity and whiteness and finally returns the men of the home front to our reckoning of the Greatest Generation and the New Deal era.

Synopsis The American Homefront During WWII by : C D Peterson
Captures the transformation of America during WWII, highlighting daily life, wartime economy, and the profound patriotism that united the nation. Don’t you know there’s a war on?! Use it up… Wear it out… Make it do… Or do without! Loose Lips Sink Ships! Any Bonds Today? Remember Pearl Harbor! Those were the slogans Americans called out to each other on the home front during WWII. They forged their days surrounded by fellow patriots sharing in the greatest endeavor of their lives: winning the war. The American Home Front in WWII presents the striking story of those times starting with little-known events well before Pearl Harbor – the clashes between isolationists and those favoring intervention and America’s first peacetime draft. The shock of Pearl Harbor transformed America from a peacetime country to a full wartime economy. Factories produced an airplane every sixty-one minutes. Women and Blacks entered the workforce as never before bringing about earthshaking changes. Americans describe in their own words the rigors of everyday life: rationing, air raid drills, rigging up black curtains and scrap drives. But Americans found ways to enjoy themselves- movie attendance swelled with films such as Casablanca while Broadway brought audiences Oklahoma. The music of Glen Miller and the voice of a skinny newcomer named Frank Sinatra had Americans swinging and swooning. The American Home Front in WWII brings this story to life to capture the extraordinary level of patriotism and teamwork on the home front. It truly was a time when there were no strangers.

Synopsis That Beautiful Little Post by : Gary Glynn
The history of Fort Missoula, established in Montana Territory in 1877. "That Beautiful Little Post on the Bitterroot" as one commander dubbed it, played a prominent role in the Nez Perce War of 1877. During the 1890s the Fort Missoula Bicycle Corps experimented with the military use of two-wheeled transportation, culminating in 1,900 mile journey to St. Louis over primitve roads. The Fort was used during World War II as a Detention Center for interned Italian and Japanese citizens, and eventually became a Disciplinary Barracks housing hundreds of U.S. Army soldiers who had run afoul of the law.

Synopsis Our Mothers' War by : Emily Yellin
Our Mothers' War is a stunning and unprecedented portrait of women during World War II, a war that forever transformed the way women participate in American society. Never before has the vast range of women's experiences during this pivotal era been brought together in one book. Now, Our Mothers' War re-creates what American women from all walks of life were doing and thinking, on the home front and abroad. These heartwarming and sometimes heartbreaking accounts of the women we have known as mothers, aunts, and grandmothers reveal facets of their lives that have usually remained unmentioned and unappreciated. Our Mothers' War gives center stage to one of WWII's most essential fighting forces: the women of America, whose extraordinary bravery, strength, and humanity shine through on every page.

Synopsis Montana Stirrups, Sage and Shenanigans by : Francie Brink Berg
Sisters Francie Brink Berg, Anne Brink Sallgren Krickel, and Jeanie Brink Thiessen take readers on a journey into real-life ranching with personal narratives describing cattle drives in blizzards, fending off coyotes in the badlands, and training horses on the ranch. Their story also tells a social history of ranching in Montana and how events shaped the Brink Ranch. Stories take readers through the pioneer days to the hard times of the Great Depression, to World War II and battles on the home front, up to modern-day ranching in Montana. Montana Stirrups, Sage and Shenanigans is an Old West epic with modern flair, told with an abundance of Western humor and emotion; it is a lively story of resourcefulness, courage, hard work, and a legacy of Western traditions.
