The Womens Army Corps or the wac, ill be using that acronym to describe them, and members of the Womens Army Corps, it was established in 1942. The military, the army was fighting a two front war and needed more troops, so they enlisted women for the first time in its history to make sure they were able to fill the jobs that the men were leaving so they could go to the front. And there have been many books on the mistreatment of africanamerican soldiers during world war ii, but you wrote about four enlisted female soldiers. Who were they . First of all, im very glad that you mentioned that because so often the books are on the officers and theyre on the white wacs who served, but very few on black enlisted women so i wrote about the four women that i mentioned here, part of the 6,500 contingent of black women who enlisted during the war. Pioneers of the wac and they had the same reasons th

Title
Post Route Map of the States of New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Islands, Connecticut, and Parts of New York and Maine.
1878 (dated)
1 : 380160
Description
An enormous highly detailed 1878 map of the New England states issued for internal use by the United States Postal Service - with highlighting of … gold mines?! As might be expected from an operation as large and complex as the USPS, the map offers impressive detail, noting road and railroads throughout, as well as milage from town to town. A table in the lower left suggests that this map should have color coding indicating postal routes and frequency of use, but none of that is present here. What is present are an extensive series of manuscript markings and annotations in Vermont. While at first incomprehensible, according to a note on the verso title plate, the map was marked for mines.
