This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

Send Cakes and Sweets to Soldiers at Camp Grant in 1917
From the October 18, 2017, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1917, 100 Years Ago.
"A DeKalb lady receiving the following from Camp Grant comes forward with the suggestion today that DeKalb women and girls spend a little time in making cakes and other sweets for the soldier boys not mobilized there."
Meaning soldiers not sent off to war. Some more World War I homefront effort.
