Hometown’s Fallen: Discovering the Human Aspects of Wars

The Archives and Special Collections has recently received a book about residents of our county who did not return from war. It contains 10 biographies written by USD students and their professor concerning military service personnel from Clay County, South Dakota, who were killed in action. The biographies are based on information gathered from local archives, libraries, historical society, veterans’ services office, online resources, and family members.

The library has received two copies. One is in the book collection in Special Collections, and one is in the main collection of the library.
