Montana and the Great War

From the About page: "The centennial of the United States' entry into World War I, on April 6, 2017, provided the impetus to look back at this complicated past and to create this web-based project: Montana and the Great War. Look in these pages to find links to pertinent articles, primarily from the Montana Historical Society's award-winning magazine, 'Montana The Magazine of Western History'; information on archival collections in the Montana Historical Society Archives; clips from oral histories; and lesson plans. The ArcGIS Story Map features 70 stories from across Montana that reflect the various ways the war changed the lives of Montanans both at home and while serving overseas - as well as ways the war's impact continued into the 1920s. Explore the map to learn about how the war affected Montanans of every type: war supporters and war opponents, Red Cross workers and German parishioners, miners and loggers, pacifists and soldiers, farmers and stockmen, nurses and railroad works, politicians and gold star mothers." Project funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant to the Montana State Historic Preservation Office, Montana Historical Society, administered by the State, Tribal, Local Plans and Grants division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior (grant number P17AF00012).
