Past to Present: More Essays on the History of Mishawaka

In Past to Present: More Essays on the History of Mishawaka, Peter J. De Kever shares stories from Mishawaka s compelling and inspiring past. As a call to remember and honor the people and accomplishments of the Princess City s history, De Kever has written nine essays that vividly evoke Mishawaka s role in historically significant national events, as well as the remarkable achievements of area high school students. Stories of bravery, sacrifice, and suffering come together here with others that show Mishawakans inventiveness, dedication, and pursuit of excellence. Modern society often promotes forgetfulness and irreverence for the past, but De Kever s book encourages a history-oriented vision of how people and events from Mishawaka s past live on today. These stories form part of the inheritance shared by all who call Mishawaka home. Included in Past to Present are the fascinating stories of: Captain James Houghton leading his men in a fatal charge at the Battle of Shiloh. Mishawaka s participation in the wondrous Chicago World s Columbian Exposition of 1893. Two local newspapermen who fought the Spanish-American War in their weekly editorials. A Mishawaka auto manufacturer that experienced tragic glory at the inaugural Indy 500. Private Paul Fechner s ultimate sacrifice in defense of the Philippine Islands. A Mishawaka man and woman who recall their roles in achieving victory during World War II. Mishawaka High School s 1988 state championship volleyball team. Two Penn High School academic teams perfect year. Mishawaka s 175th birthday celebration and a display of the city s treasures. Accompanying these essays are dozens of historic photographs, most never before published.
