Abstract:
"In 1917, more than 2,000 German officers, sailors and civilians were taken in by a small town in Madison County, finding common ground amid a global conflict." In the spring of 1917, the U.S. government had selected the town of Hot springs as an internment camp for "officers, sailors, and passengers who'd been on civilian German ships caught in U.S. and U.S.-controlled harbors upon America's entry into the war."
