C-SPAN's American History TV airs tour of Library of Congress WWI Exhibit

By Richard Hall
C-SPAN 3 

This coming weekend, C-SPAN's American History TV will show a special tour of the Library of Congress exhibit “Echoes of the Great War: American Experiences of World War I”.

height.135.no border.width.240Library of Congress historian and curator Ryan Reft gives a tour of the exhibit, tracing the history of U.S. participation in World War I using artwork, posters, photographs, films, sheet music, documents, and artifacts. 

"Echoes of the Great War: American Experiences of World War I" examines the upheaval of world war as Americans confronted it— both at home and abroad. The exhibition considers the debates and struggles that surrounded U.S. engagement; explores U.S. military and home front mobilization and the immensity of industrialized warfare; and touches on the war’s effects, as an international peace settlement was negotiated, national borders were redrawn, and soldiers returned to reintegrate into American society.
