SynopsisIn 1917, Stanford University leased a portion of its land to allow the creation of Camp Fremont, headquartered in present-day Menlo Park. That brought the war into the Bay Area's backyard. Soldiers received a welcome reception, and locals embraced the potential economic opportunities. However, the military presence also revealed the conflict Americans felt over the war. Residents threatened conscientious objectors within their community, while the government mollified fears of the vice that often followed troops in training. Armistice came earlier than expected, and many soldiers trained for combat they never saw. But all contributed to the growth and change that arrived with the modern era. Author Barbara Wilcox tells Camp Fremont's story of adaptability, bravery and extraordinary accomplishment during the Great War.

Perfect for Historians and Scholars!
I'm a military historian with the State of California. I wanted to know more about this obscure WWI military site in the San Francisco Bay Area that involved parts of Stanford University and what is now known as Silicon Valley. I came across this book just as it came was published and bought my first copy. I was not disappointed! It's not a light read but a captivating and provocative discourse.The author covers California real estate, politics, economics and sociology in an objective and well organized manner as it relates to the 26 months of Camp Fremont's existence.. Her citations alone are worth purchasing the book. If you're looking for an insightful history about a small patch of land and a brief moment of California's history that has an impact even more than 100 years later, this is for you!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
