Remembering the Great War: Letters From the Front Brothers Charles and Frank Butler, who were born in Jacksonport,and brothers Joe and Frank Zatlin, who were long-time Jacksonport property owners, were soldiers at the European front during World War I. Their letters to family at home were saved by Ellen Butler Zatlin, who united the two families through her marriage to Frank Zatlin in 1921. The letters were not discovered until the summer of 2013; they had been stored in a cottage attic on Lakeshore Road. Following her careful reading of the yellowed and tattered letters, Phyllis Zatlin has woven together the stories told by her father Frank Zatlin and her uncles.

The Yanks are Coming November 1918 witnessed the end of the War to End All Wars. Americans justifiably celebrated the Armistice that brought peace after one of the deadliest conflicts in human history. Fighting on the front was like passing through the hell of suffering and death. After November 11, many felt that they were about to have the greatest Thanksgiving ever. In this centennial year, we commemorate the Great War while knowing it did not achieve its optimistic goal. Additional Info & Ordering Information (See special package pricing)
Volume Ten Although each of the stories in this volume are unique, they contain many recurring themes. Our authors are descendants of immigrants from various European countries, including Bohemia, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Norway, and Sweden. No matter the country of origin, their family histories repeatedly tell of hardships and heartbreaks, but also of good times and joyous memories. Women faced the risk of death in childbirth. Men went off to war. But our authors and family members blend tales with recollections of social gatherings and the fun they could have, whether summer or winter. They also recall educational experiences, as students and teachers, with affection.
