Stories From At Sea: Hoosiers in World War II

from Unbound: A Collection of Indiana Stories · host Indiana Historical Society

Have Comments, Questions, or Anecdotes? Send 'em our way we'd love to hear them! Casey and Regan are “back” for a brand-new story-filled season of Unbound. We enter this season with the story of two Hoosier Navy Veterans who served in World War II. The first story is from James E. O’Donnell, who served on the U.S.S. Indianapolis and survived the tragedy that followed. Then we look at the letters from Jack Patterson, which chronicle his time before enlisting, to his time in the Pacific Theater, to his discharge from the military. Further Information:James E.
