Book Description
Excerpt from Parke County in the World War: A List of Its Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines, Compiled From Official Records and From as Complete Research as Possible; Portraits of Its Gold Star Men and Over Six Hundred Pictures of Soldiers, Sailors and Marines Then came a swift and sure change in senti ment. It instantly sprang up when Germany an nounced the intention of resuming unrestricted submarine operations. The protests of the President and the announcement of our purpose to meet force with force met with the unqualified endorsement of at. Least three-fourths of our peo ple. But there was a sullen and for a time out spoken minority against war, and this feeling persisted even after war was declared. And here I intend to tell a truth - a very gratifying truth - that is due the children of those who were Southern sympathizers during the Civil War, or were not wholeheartedly in favor of the administration of that war. I do not know of one family in all Parke County which had borne the stigma of disloyalty during the Union war, and for years thereafter, that was in any way not in sympathy with the Gov ernment in the German war. Over all others, if possible, these people were zealous and uncom promising in their support of everything directly or indirectly connected with winning the war. An incident. 'will illustrate this fact. A war meeting was to be held in the very neighbor hood to which the Home Guards were called dur ing the Civil War. It was under the direction of a descendant of those who were charged with the outbreak at that time. This man had come to Rockville to get a speaker and make arrange ments for the meeting. He wanted Company B to come, and when told that this might not be possible, with great earnestness he urged: But, Captain, you must come! Some of the peo ple up there don't know we are in a war. Vve've got to wake them up! And so it may be said of this class of our citizenship that to whatever extent the charge of disloyalty made against their fathers fifty years ago and long after wards might have been true, not a Copperhead, so far as I know, could be found among them from the day war was declared on through to the last. I have in mind one whose girlhood was em bittered by the social ostracism in icted on the families of southern sympathizers. \vith all the zeal of her singularly intense nature she was devotedly patriotic. When it appeared that our young men were not responding to the call as their fathers did in '61 she said in an address to the people of Parke County.

"This is not a connected exposition of the evolution of the Marine Corps uniform but is a chronological compilation of orders and correspondence dealing with Marine Corps uniforms, arms, and accoutrements from the Colonial Period through 21 October 1829. While it furnishes the raw material for uniform plates, the original contains only one sketch of a coat and several of button arrangement and chevrons."-- Preface, page v

Book Description
National parks are different from other federal lands in the United States. Beginning in 1872 with the establishment of Yellowstone, they were largely set aside to preserve for future generations the most spectacular and inspirational features of the country, seeking the best representative examples of major ecosystems such as Yosemite, geologic forms such as the Grand Canyon, archaeological sites such as Mesa Verde, and scenes of human events such as Gettysburg. But one type of habitat--the desert--fell short of that goal in American eyes until travel writers and the Automobile Age began to change that perception. As the Park Service began to explore the better-known Mojave and Colorado deserts of southern California during the 1920s for a possible desert park, many agency leaders still carried the same negative image of arid lands shared by many Americans--that they are hostile and largely useless. But one wealthy woman--Minerva Hamilton Hoyt, from Pasadena--came forward, believing in the value of the desert, and convinced President Franklin D. Roosevelt to establish a national monument that would protect the unique and iconic Joshua trees and other desert flora and fauna. Thus was Joshua Tree National Monument officially established in 1936, with the area later expanded in 1994 when it became Joshua Tree National Park. Since 1936, the National Park Service and a growing cadre of environmentalists and recreationalists have fought to block ongoing proposals from miners, ranchers, private landowners, and real estate developers who historically have refused to accept the idea that any desert is suitable for anything other than their consumptive activities. To their dismay, Joshua Tree National Park, even with its often-conflicting land uses, is more popular today than ever, serving more than one million visitors per year who find the desert to be a place worthy of respect and preservation.
