- American Letters collector Wade Hall (1934-2015) was a native of Union Springs, Alabama. Starting in 1962, he lived in Louisville, where he taught English and chaired the English and Humanities/Arts programs at Kentucky Southern College and Bellarmine University. He also taught at the University of Illinois and the University of Florida. He held degrees from Troy State University (B.S.), the University of Alabama (M.A.), and the University of Illinois (Ph.D.). He served for two years in the U.S. Army in the mid-fifties. Dr. Hall was the author of books, monographs, articles, plays, and reviews relating to Kentucky, Alabama, and Southern history and literature. His most recent books include A Visit with Harlan Hubbard; High Upon a Hill: A History of Bellarmine College; A Song in Native Pastures: Randy Atcher's Life in Country Music; and Waters of Life from Conecuh Ridge.
- Scope and Content
- The World War II papers (dated 1927-1945; 1.8 cubic feet; 10 flat boxes, 3 document boxes) comprises photographs, autograph books, newspapers, military ribbons and buttons, handbooks and manuals, and propaganda that document the United States involvement in World War II. This collection is mainly comprised of items that are not large enough for their own individual collections.
- The largest series in the collection are the three photograph series: H. Higgins scrapbook, Unidentified Red Cross nurse photographs, and Unidentified African American soldier photographs. The H. Higgins scrapbook series depicts the places Higgins travelled to and the people he met during his tour of service in WWII; photographs include images from Meridian, Mississippi, Wilmington, North Carolina, Waycross, Georgia, and his tour in North Africa. In addition to the WWII images are photographs taken of him, his wife, and his family in the late 1960s.
- The Unidentified Red Cross nurse photographs series includes images taken by an unidentified Red Cross nurse during her service in World War II. Her photographs include places such as Fort Eustis and Caracas, Venezuela. This collection includes family photographs taken in the decades preceding the war.
- The Unidentified African American soldier photographs series contains photographs taken by an unidentified African American soldier during his Pacific tour in Okinawa, Japan in 1947.
- Included in the collection is a series of items belonging to Sergeant George Duncan, and African American soldier in World War II. The items consist of an autograph book, a military sewing kit, and an army songbook. Additionally, there are volumes of the Fort Bliss News, The Stars and Stripes, and the Armored Force Newsletters with other newspaper clippings and various artifacts including a Japanese soldier's handbook and assorted military ribbons and buttons.
- The World War II papers are part of the Wade Hall Collection of American letters, which includes correspondence and diaries from all over North America covering the time period of the Civil to Korean Wars. The materials were collected by Wade Hall and document everyday men and women.
