Graduate student Leslie Bellais has published a chapter in the edited collection Home Front in the American Heartland: Local Experiences and Legacies of WWI (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2020). The chapter is titled “‘Lest We Forget’: Remembering World War I in Wisconsin, 1919-1945” and is the second chapter in a volume aimed at offering a multifaceted exploration of World War I and its aftermath in the North American Heartland, “a region often overlooked in wartime histories.” Formerly the Curator of Social History at the Wisconsin Historical Society for over 28 years, Bellais is now working on her dissertation, titled “‘Traitor State’: A Crisis of Loyalty in World War I Wisconsin.”
