  • 2008 OAH Annual Meeting • New York 1
    Welcome ear colleagues in history, welcome to the one-hundred-fi rst annual meeting of the Organiza- tion of American Historians in New York. Last year we met in our founding site of Minneap- Dolis-St. Paul, before that in the national capital of Washington, DC. On the present occasion wew meet in the world’s media capital, but in a very special way: this is a bridge-and-tunnel aff air, not limitedli to just the island of Manhattan. Bridges and tunnels connect the island to the larger metropolitan region. For a long time, the peoplep in Manhattan looked down on people from New Jersey and the “outer boroughs”— Brooklyn, theth Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island—who came to the island via those bridges and tunnels. Bridge- and-tunnela people were supposed to lack the sophistication and style of Manhattan people. Bridge- and-tunnela people also did the work: hard work, essential work, beautifully creative work. You will sees this work in sessions and tours extending beyond midtown Manhattan. Be sure not to miss, for example,e “From Mambo to Hip-Hop: Th e South Bronx Latin Music Tour” and the bus tour to my own Photo by Steve Miller Steve by Photo cityc of Newark, New Jersey. Not that this meeting is bridge-and-tunnel only. Th anks to the excellent, hard working program committee, chaired by Debo- rah Gray White, and the local arrangements committee, chaired by Mark Naison and Irma Watkins-Owens, you can chose from an abundance of off erings in and on historic Manhattan: in Harlem, the Cooper Union, Chinatown, the Center for Jewish History, the Brooklyn Historical Society, the New-York Historical Society, the American Folk Art Museum, and many other sites of great interest.

Like many teenagers, I liked to read comic books, and in my hometown of Vincennes, Indiana was a small store across the street from Gregg Park that sold them. One day while perusing the selection, I came across a series titled True Comics, with a subtitle of “Truth is Stranger and a Thousand Times More Thrilling Than Fic- tion.” The cover promised 13 exciting features including “Pirate Patri- ot,” “Human Howitzer” and “Hero Without a Gun.” The comic was published in 1948, so the cover price was only ten cents, but that was the 70’s and inflation was working its magic; I probably paid closer to seventy-five cents for it.

ONE MAN'S VIEW THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO OUR SON AND HIS FAMILY: CRAIG, LINDA, AND IAN Because of the interest future generations may derive from it, I have been asked to write a history of my experiences while serving in the U. S. Marine Corps during World War 2. Although many years have passed since the activities described herein, my memory remains clear on everything I have recorded. In fact, some of the events are almost as vivid as if they had just occurred, rather than having happened more than sixty years ago. My memory has been refreshed by having revisited most of the locations covered in this story. Assisting in my recollections is the official history of the Second Marine Division, published shortly after the war, with a copy having been given to me by the Marine Corps at that time. Also of great help was the fact that I had recorded, on a calendar kept throughout the war, the exact dates of incidents with which I was involved. That, and other notes made both during the war and immediately thereafter, allow me to be very specific about when things actually happened, the names of ships involved, and other details which would have escaped me otherwise.
