DOC Voyage to the Northwest Coast of America; 1792: Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra and the Nootka Sound Controversy (Northwest Historical Series) by Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra in History

Description

In December 1950 Donald Hamilton; a medic with the Eighth Army's Seventh Division; became trapped with the rest of his comrades under a fierce onslaught by Chinese troops at the Chosin Reservoir. As Hamilton prepared to escape to safety; he heard a fellow soldier scream for help. Disregarding a friend's plea not to return; Hamilton went back to offer aid. He was never seen again. Donald Hamilton is one of the 927 Hoosiers killed in the Korean War. The story of those who died; those who served; and the loved ones back home who struggled to understand the horrors of war are examined in this book. Randy K. Mills personally interviewed a number of Hoosier veterans of the war; reviewed letters from veterans to loved ones back home; perused local and national media accounts; and consulted definitive historical studies about the conflict.
