SUMMARY:Soldier's Stories: The U.P. and the Great War
DESCRIPTION:  \nOn Thursday\, June 21\, the first of several exhibits commemorating the Copper Country’s involvement in World War I opened at the Carnegie Museum of the Keweenaw\, “Soldier’s Stories: The U.P. and the Great War\,” with a public reception and talk by exhibit curator and Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center’s Director\, Daniel Truckey. \nMr. Truckey’s talk\, “Upper Peninsula Polar Bears in WWI”\, discussed the nearly 100 U.P. men\, known as the Polar Bears\, who served in the Northern Russia Expeditionary Force during the winter of 1918-1919. “This little known and poorly understood part of WWI impacted several dozen soldiers from the U.P. In 1918\, as a response to a cease fire between Germany and Russia\, there was an alliance of British\, French\, Canadian and U.S. troops who were sent to Northern Russia and Siberia to fight against the newly formed Bolshevik government troops.” Some of the soldiers were highly decorated and some gave the ultimate sacrifice. \nIn creating the Soldier’s Stories exhibit\, the Beaumier Center worked with historical societies and families in the Upper Peninsula to collect the stories of individual soldiers\, including their personal histories and experiences in the conflict. The exhibit examines two main aspects of the Upper Peninsula’s involvement in the Great War: 1) the experience of the Polar Bears\, and 2) the American Legion posts formed throughout the U.P. after the war. A recurring theme of the exhibit is the social and ethnic identity of the men\, almost all of whom were first generation Americans\, some not yet citizens. “The conflict had a significant impact on the soldiers’ growing identities as Americans and also for their families.” \n“Soldier Stories” will run through September 30th as part of the World War I & the Copper Country (WW1CC) initiative.

SUMMARY:An Unpopular History: Uncovering Copper Country Antiwar Stories in WWI
DESCRIPTION:Talk by Dr. Hilary-Joy Virtanen — During World War I\, those who supported the war\, won the ability to share their history and those who didn’t\, became footnotes in history. Through analysis of contemporary news reportage\, archival documents\, oral history\, and more\, the voices of Copper Country residents who opposed the war can be heard\, even if faintly\, so we might reflect upon the implications that personal and archival silences have in our ability to understand a multitude of voices from the past. \nFind out more…

DESCRIPTION:Shoulder Arms (Charlie Chaplin\, 1918\, 46 min.) plus selected film shorts and newsreels \nSeptember 29\, 7:30pm \nRozsa Center for the Performing Arts (co-sponsor)\, Michigan Tech \n\nShoulder Arms is the first feature film directed by Chaplin\, who plays a soldier in boot camp in the “awkward squad.”  Once in France Charlie gets no letters from home.

He goes “over the top” and captures thirteen Germans (“I surrounded them”)\, then volunteers to wander through the German lines disguised as a tree trunk. With the help of a French girl he captures the Kaiser and the Crown Prince and is given a statue and victory parade in New York and then … fellow soldiers wake him from his dream. \n\nThe film will be screened with live musical accompaniment by guest silent-film organist Jay Warren\, Chicago’s foremost photoplay organist.
