Description: Incredibly wonderful~ Two oversize scrapbooks & a smaller third...116 pages in all, six columns wide and rich with information about what was actually happening during the war. It's from a young man in Iowa, with bylines from Washington, Chicago, etc. It runs from December 7, 1941 (where he has typed the declaration) through March 5, 1942. Completed as a Social Studies project? in school. Not about a specific person, but the action of the war, Midway through, he remarks that paper is now rationed so he used wallpaper pieces instead. You are able to read the patriotic sentiment of Americans as we first got involved, and the stress we went through as the war progressed, the need for our service and help, and sacrifices, and the beginning of rationing. At the end, it showed the need for lightheartedness in the middle of a serious situation...editorial cartoons. Did you know we thought of starting a farmerettes group? Or, that Laura Ingalls (Wilder) was called a Nazi because she disagreed with how America was handling the war? Or that we had to ration rubber for tires. I learned more in these scrapbooks than in an entire university class. It's "History when it happened!" ...not revisionist History or points of view. Condition is old newspaper; toned and sometimes brittle. Lots of articles are cut and folded.
