Part of the Historical Essay Series, this essay shares the stories
of several people in Lyon County, Minnesota, during World War II
and their contribution to the Home Front. It also defines who the
real enemy was and describes the impact war had on the lives of
the Lyon County citizens, from rationing, to women's roles, to the
absolute horrors of the news brought back. It details the intimate
relationships developed during the war and the final breath of peace
brought by the war's end.
The Historical Essay Series is edited by Dr. Joseph
Amato, former director of Rural Studies, with the assistance
of Donata DeBruyckere, Janice Louwagie, and Dr. Thaddeus Radzilowski.
It is published by the Southwest Minnesota State University History
Department, the History Club, the History
Center, and the Rural Studies program. It is partially sponsored
and distributed by the Society for the Study of Local and Regional
History. Assisting with the publication are Southwest Minnesota
State University Word Processing Center and Duplicating Services.
