註釋Stories from Duluthand Superior DuringWorld War IThe Twin Ports faced tumultuous times just prior to Prohibition: A devastating forest fire, a flu epidemic, and labor unrest, all while working to support the Allied war effort and, beginning in 1917, sending their sons, brothers and husbands off to battle in Europe. But patriotism gave way to war hysteria and anti-immigrant sentiment, leading to the tar-and-feathering and lynching of Finnish immigrant pacifist Olli Kiukkonen, accused of being a "slacker" because he did not wish to fight in a war.Inside, author C. A. Annala walks readers through Duluth and Superior during 1917 and 1918-the years America was actively involved in fighting the first world war-telling stories of how Duluthians, Superiorites, and even those on Minnesota's Iron Range navigated life during wartime.
