Local newspapers frequently printed letters from local soldiers to provide more in-depth coverage of war news. Researchers should be aware that these indexes do not necessarily represent the holdings of the Center for Archival Collections.
Those wishing to review the news articles or editorials cited here should consult our newspaper holdings. For further information about military organization during World War I, major actions of the war, and about using this index, please consult the User's Guide below. For previous users of the index to the Civil War letters of northwest Ohio hosted by the Center for Archival Collections at Bowling Green State University, the layout and logic of this index to the World War I letters will be both familiar and understood.
However, with the evolution of military thought and organization there are a number of changes which occurred in the intervening years of that require a bit of explanation.
The indices are laid out in a two part fashion; part one consists of a listing of correspondents in alphabetical order, giving their complete service record, culled from the roster published by the state of Ohio in the s, followed by a list of dates in which their letters appeared. Note that the dates listed are the dates that the letters appeared in their respective newspapers, not the dates that the letters were written.
