| Summary: | Lost Voices of the Great War: Summit County in the First World War expands upon the award-winning PBS documentary of the same name, bringing readers even deeper into the stories of the local women and men whose lives were shaped by World War I. This companion volume restores the full, unfiltered voices that were brought to life through period photographs, rare film footage, and dramatic historic reenactments. Since the documentary's debut in 2018, audiences, historians, and family members alike have sought more--more stories, more context, and more voices from a generation nearly lost to time. Inspired by this continuing interest, and by the realization that many powerful accounts never made it onto the screen, Fleischer and Motter have assembled this collection of complete letters and firsthand accounts drawn from local libraries, museums, and archival repositories. |
