It lists more than 900 soldiers, seamen, and Marines. It identifies some of those wounded or captured and includes brief articles on the soldiers that died in uniform. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThose that served were as diverse a group as Macon County could offer. Some were Black, others were White; some were men, others were women; some were teenagers, others were past forty; some were well-to-do, others were dirt poor; some were college graduates, others had never been inside a classroom; some were volunteers, others were draftees. Brothers often served together, and fathers and sons were sometimes in the service at the same time. The one thing they all shared was they were willing to put themselves in harm's way in the service of their country. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is about more than the soldiers, however. It includes a chapter on the military training \"maneuvers\" conducted in Macon in the 1940s. It even describes some of the \"war games\" conducted on Macon County soil. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book details some of the sacrifices the homefolk made for the war effort and some of the hardships they faced. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe people of that era have been described as \"America's Greatest Generation\" and no one can challenge that fact. Macon County, Tennessee was a proud part of that generation of heroes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e CL Gammon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Deep Read Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781954989313\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deep Read Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43963177599091,"sku":"9.78195E+12","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_33cefb76-0071-4ab6-8263-f9cc5e045751.jpg?v=1760016555","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/highland-rim-warriors-macon-county-tennessee-and-world-war-ii-9781954989313","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
