Project Overview
Local authors, Jill and Deane Johnson, discussed their most recent book, Little Minnesota in WWII at 9 libraries in the region. The book tells the stories of 140 Minnesota men who died in World War II. These men all came from the tiny towns featured in the Johnsons' first book, Little Minnesota. The stories, which are accompanied by photographs, letters, and family recollections, are both inspiring and nostalgic.
