SAFE AND SOUND. LETTER TO FOLLOW: Stories of Hoosiers at Home and War during WWII

Stephanie Holman came upon this two-line telegraph while researching at the Indiana Historical Society's library. The wireless “radiogram” was sent home to Indiana nearly 70 years ago, just after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This storytelling performance presents a fascinating mix of humor and fear as revealed in the war letters of that era.

This presentation is a part of the "Sharing Hoosier History through Stories" series sponsored by the Indiana Historical Society and Storytelling Arts of Indiana Inc.
