The histories, traditions and accomplishments of each branch are recorded in vivid detail in military newspapers. These papers were produced to inform, entertain and uphold the morale of service personnel. As one of the largest collections of its kind ever amassed, the Walter S. and Esther Dougherty Collection of Military Newspapers of the United States brings together more than 4,000 issues of military papers. Nearly 2,500 distinct titles are represented, including issues from the Mexican War, the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam conflict and the years between military conflicts. Most titles date from World War II. Due to the location of military personnel during the war, many titles were published in Europe or the Pacific. Others were published in the U.S. and sent to troops abroad. Titles from all military branches are included, as well as some associated titles from defense industries. For ease of use, the titles are arranged alphabetically within the collection. This comprehensive collection will be valued by students of military history, military science and political science.

Among the biographical manuscripts are Daniel Boone‘s 1774 military account books and his Kentucky land survey notebooks, papers by and about the noted Mohawk chief, Joseph Brant, and the Campaign Leader, Thomas Sumter, together with accounts of frontier life from the diary of Thomas Spottswood Hinde.

Includes George Fox, William Penn, George Bishop, Thomas Lason and many others. England 35 reels 35mm The Echols Collection: Selections on the Vietnam War 1900 - 1995 Each year following monsoon season in Vietnam, a harvest of unexploded ordinance appears in the countryside: M79 grenade rounds, flechette bombs and other lethal remnants of the war years. Even casual exploration can be fatal. Yet year after year, Vietnamese peasants continue to farm their fields in hopes of bringing new life to a war-ravaged land. The historical record of U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War can be compared to the ground on which it was fought. In spite of years of study, the topic is still considered explosive. Policies and motives of participants on all sides of the war have been obscured by ―revisionist histories‖ of every political and ideological hue. Facts are contested and subject to change when new information appears. With the introduction of The Echols Collection: Selections on the Vietnam War, ProQuest brings together multiple historical and national perspectives with an eye toward providing better understanding of the Vietnam conflict. With more than 5,000 volumes of books, monographs, speeches, pamphlets, manuscripts, serials and historical documents, Selections on the Vietnam War provides unique insight to students of 20 th century American and Southeast Asian history, international and U.S. law, economics, political science, government, diplomacy, foreign policy and journalism. Selected from the vast holdings of the John M. Echols Collection at Cornell University (the premier North American source of material on Southeast Asia), the contents of this collection provide an incisive look at pre-war and wartime history as well as the long-term effects of the conflict in Southeast Asia and around the world. The collection contains a variety of political and social commentary, including views expressed by anti-war groups, pro-war factions, religious groups and governmental organizations worldwide. Rare U.S. and Vietnamese government reports, publications and research documents are also included. Readily accessible materials have been omitted. Selection criteria for the collection are based on the Vietnam War Bibliography by Christopher L. Sugnet and John T. Hickey. Included are 3,253 items in English and French (the latter focusing on the French colonial period) - propaganda, pamphlets, government documents, literary works, etc., from the 17 th century Catholic missionaries to the fall of Saigon in 1975.
