Cleveland in World War II

Book Description
Berthed on the Cleveland lakefront, the battle-hardened submarine USS Cod serves as a proud reminder of the wartime contributions from the Greater Cleveland community. Clevelanders did their duty and more, from round-the-clock work on the factory assembly lines to the four Medal of Honor recipients on the front lines. The Cleveland Bomber Plant churned out thousands of B-29 parts, while Auto-Ordnance Co. developed the design for the Thompson submachine guns used by GIs on nearly every battlefield. Indians pitcher Bob Feller left the game to go into the service, and Clarence Jamison flew with the famed Tuskegee Airmen. Through interviews and archival material, authors Brian Albrecht and James Banks honor a time when Clevelanders of all stripes answered the call to arms.

The Severances
Author: Diana TittlePublisher:
ISBN: 9780911704617
Category : Cleveland (Ohio)
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
A richly texture portrait of ten generations of Anglo-Saxon strivers compelled by necessity and nurturance to be community builders. Spanning nearly the entirety of American history and touching on nearly every geographical section of the country, The Severances describes in remarkable detail how each successive generation of a family whose arrival on these shores predated America's founding met the challenges of its time and place, built on the sacrifices and gains of forebears, chose to enjoy mounting success, implanted family traditions and beliefs, and endeavored to give something back to society. Inheritors of their Puritan ancestors' ambition of creating a model żcity upon a hill,ż the Cleveland branch of the family assembled one of 19th-century America's impressive fortunes and made their name locally synonymous with outsized philanthropic gestures, most notably the Depression-era gift to the people of Cleveland of Severance Hall, the magnificent home of The Cleveland Orchestra.
