Excerpt from Treasure Chest, 1943 All these workers for freedom are carrying the traditions of their forefathers into battle. From the workers in the factories. To the men behind the guns; from the faithful women on the home front, to those serving as waac. Waves. Spars and nurses; from our loyal leaders. To those manning the planes and ships - they are doing their utmost toward saving the pioneer ideals for the generations to come. All are fighting to protect that spirit which has helped us to progress in the past and which will guide us in the future. The future of our great nation depends on what is gained from the past. The study of the collection of World War I relics in our museum is giving the students of Rogers the foundation of knowledge they need to help America be victorious in both the war and the peace to follow.

Etta Jones was not a World War II soldier or a war time spy. She was a school teacher whose life changed forever on that Sunday morning in June 1942 when the Japanese military invaded Attu Island and Etta became a prisoner of war. Etta and her sister moved to the Territory of Alaska in 1922. She planned to stay only one year as a vacation, but this 40 something year old nurse from back east met Foster Jones and fell in love. They married and for nearly twenty years they lived, worked and taught in remote Athabascan, Alutiiq, Yup’ik and Aleut villages where they were the only outsiders. Their last assignment was Attu. After the invasion, Etta became a prisoner of war and spent 39 months in Japanese POW sites located in Yokohama and Totsuka. She was the first female Caucasian taken prisoner by a foreign enemy on the North American Continent since the War of 1812, and she was the first American female released by the Japanese at the end of World War II. Using descriptive letters that she penned herself, her unpublished manuscript, historical documents and personal interviews with key people who were involved with events as they happened, her extraordinary story is told for the first time in this book.

Excerpt from Ironthorpe: The Pioneer Preacher Axons the most agreeable things I is the delight with which, when a child, I used to listen to tales of the backwoods as they fell from lips of experience. The comfortable chimney-comer, the genial story-teller, the attentive group gathered round the roaring fire, and those wonderful, long winter evenings, which have grown so brief and unromantic since, - these images of the past are still golden in my memory; and amid the weightier occupations of life, it is even now refreshing to travel back in thought and reproduce those stories of long ago.

The black migration to San Francisco and the Bay Area differed from the mass movement of Southern rural blacks and their families into the eastern industrial cities. Those who traveled West, or arrived by ship, were often independent, sophisticated, single men. Many were associated with the transportation boom following the Gold Rush; others traveled as employees of wealthy individuals. Douglas Daniels argues for the importance of going beyond the written record and urban statistics in examining the life of a minority community. He has studied photographs from family albums and interviewed members of old black San Francisco families in his effort to provide the first nuanced picture of the lives of black San Franciscans from the 1860s to the 1940s.
