70 years

Today is the 70th anniversary of the Attack on Pearl Harbor. In Annals of American History you can hear FDR tell the country what happened on December 7, 1941. For the 5oth anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor , Robert S. LaForte collected the 'eyewitness accounts by U.S. military men and women'
for Remembering Pearl Harbor.

The seven chapters cover the areas of Oahu that were attacked. The interviews are in the words of the military personnel remembering where they were and what happened. Mr. LaForte included information about what happened to the military person after the war. This makes it a genealogical treasure as well as a historical find.

Remembering Pearl Harbor is an electronic book that can be downloaded onto your reader. The index has the name of each person mentioned in a story. By any chance is one of them kin to you or from an area you're familiar with?

When you are in the book, use the search tool, which is on the far right at the top of the column, to look for a word or phrase. I didn't find any family names that I'm familiar with but I did find people from Georgia.

First person history brings an event to life. Your CTC librarian can give you the access information to use this e-book off campus.
