  • General Lewis Hershey Will Continue in September 2007
    Part I-The Self-made Man: Lewis B. Hershey by Sir Knight John D. Meyers, Jr., KYCH 1. Lewis B. Hershey was born on September 12, 1893, in his parents' home on their farm near Angola, Indiana, that is located in Steuben County, which is nestled in the extreme northeastern part of the Hoosier state. It is bound on the north by Michigan and on the east by Ohio. The General declared humorously, "If Michigan had taken four miles off of Indiana like they did from Ohio. I would have been born in Michigan." The second and younger son of Latta Freleigh and Rosetta (Richardson) Hershey and grandson of George R. and Joanna Latta (Freleigh) Hershey and Lewis and Frances (Hutchins) Richardson, his Swiss ancestors migrated to the United States in 1709, settling near Lancaster, Pennsylvania. "In our day, the 'horse-poor farmer eked out a meager, but substantial living on an austerity type budget. Laboring in a 12-15 hour working day, which started before dawn and lasted until long after dusk, seven days a week. This was the kind of work schedule the farmer and his family endured in our day." In addition to the farmhouse, barn and smokehouse, the Hershey homestead comprised some 140 acres of land of which less than 100 were actually farmed. Forty acres contained marshland, timber and two lakes. Another six acres located on steep slopes made this ground untenable. Before the age of ten, young Lewis had already learned the expressions "gee" and "haw" (horse language for right and left). He was plowing, mowing, raking, harrowing, and cultivating the fields, and he was driving the horse team with the dexterity of an adult.

The Director of Selective Service System, General Lewis B. Hershey, ordered local draft boards nationwide to curtail the granting of student deferment in order to induct more men to the military. In 1965 to 1968, many college students saw themselves being reclassified. In 1966, when General Hershey reissued the dormant Selective Services Qualifying Test (SSQT) for registrants who wanted to keep their student deferments, angry students began disruptive, war-related protests. On October 26, 1967, Hershey sent his “Hershey’s Directives” to local and appeal boards nationwide, in order to punish registrants who protested against the Vietnam War and the changing draft laws.

  • Unfinished Oral History of District Judge James Benton Parsons
    THE UNFINISHED ORAL HISTORY OF DISTRICT JUDGE JAMES BENTON PARSONS May 1996 THE UNFINISHED ORAL HISTORY OF DISTRICT JUDGE JAMES BENTON PARSONS Forward The oral history of District Judge James Parsons was never finished. Judge Parsons died before the recordings were finished or the transcript reviewed by him. Anyone who knew Judge Parsons would wonder if his history could ever be finished in his lifetime. He was a superb raconteur who never ran out of new ideas which were firmly anchored in what is good in the past. Due to problems with the tape recordings, some parts of the tapes were extremely difficult and even impossible to transcribe. This project could not have been finished without the extremely hard work of Kathy Engel and Charlene Purcell of the United States Court of Appeals who spent hundreds of hours listening to the tapes to hear Judge Parsons's words and transcribing them. Circuit Librarian Janet Wishinsky also dedicated hundreds of hours to reviewing the transcripts while listening to the tapes, making corrections, and adding bracketed background material that will greatly aid the reader. If you the reader can supply any additional information or make corrections, please send them to me. Collins T.

  • The Mexican American Vietnam War Serviceman
    THE MEXICAN AMERICAN VIETNAM WAR SERVICEMAN: THE MISSING AMERICAN A Thesis presented to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in History by Teresa Moreno Jimenez December 2015 © 2015 Teresa Moreno Jimenez ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP TITLE: The Mexican American Vietnam War Serviceman: The Missing American AUTHOR: Teresa Moreno Jimenez DATE SUBMITTED: December 2015 COMMITTEE CHAIR: Kathleen Murphy, Ph.D. Associate Professor of History COMMITTEE MEMBER: Kathleen Cairns, Ph.D. Lecturer of History COMMITTEE MEMBER: Thomas Trice, Ph.D. Associate Professor of History iii ABSTRACT The Mexican American Vietnam War Serviceman: The Missing American Teresa Moreno Jimenez The Vietnam War brought many changes to society in that it soon became one of the most controversial wars in United States history. There was a tremendous loss of life as well as a rift in the nation with the rise of anti-war protest. Those drafted for the war came primarily from low-income and ethnic minority communities. While all who served deserve to be recognized, there is one group that has gone largely unrepresented in the history of the war. Mexican American servicemen served and died in large numbers when compared to their population. In addition, they also received high honors for their valor in the battlefield. Yet, the history of the war has been largely focused on the experience of the Anglo and Black soldier. This is due in part to the existing black-white paradigm of race that exists in United States society, which places all other ethnic minority groups in the margins of major historical events.

Traditionally, this mission has meant recording the official history of the Army in both peace and war, while advising the Army Staff on historical matters. In terms of this tradition, the Center traces its lineage back to those historians under the Secretary of War who compiled the Official Records of the Rebellion, a monumental history of the Civil War begun in 1874, and to a similar work on World War I prepared by the Historical Section of the Army War College. The modern organization of the Army's historical efforts dates from the creation of the General Staff historical branch in July 1943 and the subsequent gathering of a large team of historians, translators, editors, and cartographers to record the official history of World War II.
