Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of the 33rd Division A. E. F, Vol. 1 It should be a peculiar gratification to the people of Illinois that the war history of the Illinois National Guard as represented in the 33rd Division has been written by a military historian so eminent as Lieutenant Colonel Frederic L. Huidekoper. As Division Adjutant of the 33rd Division he enjoyed access to original reports and records which, supplemented by his personal knowledge of many of the events described and by his private diary, gave him most excellent materials for his task. Upon his presentation of the history to the Governor of the State of Illinois in April, 1919, the Governor assigned to the Illinois State Historical Library the task of publishing it, under an appropriation made by the General Assembly. As published, the complete work consists of four volumes: Volumes I, II, and III contain the narrative and a series of appendices comprising in great part the material on which the narrative is based; Volume IV is a portfolio containing a series of maps of the division´s operations. For general distribution a larger edition, containing only the narrative text, has been prepared. Acknowledgments are due to various persons for the share they have had in bringing the undertaking to a successful conclusion. After Governor Frank O. Lowden had entrusted to the library the task of publication, he retained his interest in the task and supported and assisted in every way its prosecution. Lieutenant Colonel Huidekoper has given assistance in the many difficulties of preparing for the press so elaborate a work and has read the book in proof. Major General George Bell, Jr., former commander of the 33rd Division, read the entire work in manuscript and has given assistance in many ways, notably in obtaining the assistance of Captain Clyde L. Thompson, U. S. A., retired, in redrawing the maps. To Captain Thompson the debt of this office is, indeed, a great one.
